Missed TF Opportunities in RE5

Very well, but the fact that Uroborus behaves in such a manner as to attempt to merge with it's host and only killing it upon rejection means that it's nature is not purely viral, and the fact that it kills it's host at all means it's not purely parasitic. It's some strange combination of virus and parasite acting in a completely different manner depending on the host body's attempt to fight it off.

Las Plagas however.. is not even the name of the parasite. That word simply means "the plague", it was only a description by the locals in RE4. In RE5 it wasn't called that, they were called Majini as that's what the locals called them. The entire story of the origin of Uroborus is not known, but the similarities in their behavior, most notably their bondings or attempting bondings to their hosts suggests that the "Las Plagas/Majini" parasite could have been used as a component in the creation of Uroboros. And that is why I have directly associated them, perhaps mistakenly, but perhaps not if indeed Wesker used the parasite as a model for creating Uroboros.
