According to the series timeline, after the Ebola virus was discovered in Africa, Umbrella decided that it would make an efficient bio-weapon due to its near 90% death rate. It obtained samples of the virus, circumventing the fictional Biological Weapons Prohibition Pact by claiming that they were researching it in order to find a cure. However, the virus proved unsuitable for their uses, as it cannot survive for long outside of a human host, and is extremely vulnerable to UV radiation. Furthermore, it kills its host rapidly, and is only contagious through direct contact (scratching or biting), severely limiting its ability to spread. Umbrella decided to create a new virus based around the idea of a heavily infected host that could still move around and actively infect others.

I don't mean to impose but, I've seen the other threads about the other viruses and...wouldnt it be easier to place them all in one thread and lable it :: The History of Umbrella Corps. Virual roots or something. Just a suggestion to keep the Topics thread count as low as possible.(to prevent people from missing threads that have gone on to page 3 for example.) again, it's only a suggestion.

People will notice some names missing and see other pages. Plus, if we put everything on one topic, it'd be hard to find. So completeing it seperate is the best option for easier labeling.
