Benat_WWZ

//**World War Z**// is a novel by [|Max Brooks] which chronicles the fictional "World War Z" or "Zombie World War". It is a follow-up to his previous book, //[|The][|Zombie Survival Guide]//. The book was released on September 12, 2006.It is mostly based upon the zombie virus, Solanum. By removing the need for this all-important resource, the undead brain can utilize, but is in no way dependent upon, the complex support mechanism of the human body. Once mutation is complete, this new organ reanimates the body into a form that bears little resemblance (physiologically speaking) to the original corpse. Some bodily functions remain constant, others operate in a modified capacity, and the remainder shut down completely. This new organism is a [|zombie], a member of the living dead.
 * Solanum** works by traveling through the bloodstream, from the initial point of entry to the brain. Through means not yet fully understood, the virus uses the cells of the frontal lobe for replication, destroying them in the process. During this period, all bodily functions cease. By stopping the heart, the infected subject is rendered "dead". The brain, however, remains alive but dormant, while the virus mutates its cells into a completely new organ. The most critical trait of this new organ is its independence from oxygen.
