One of my favorite video games when I was younger, was Resident Evil 4. It presents a story about a special agent named Leon Kennedy, who looked to rescue the US president’s daughter from a sect that wanted to infect her with mind-control parasites called “las plagas”.
One thing that I most enjoyed about this video game was that players could find research notes from a biologist (Luis Sera) who compared “las plagas” with real-life parasites.
At that time, I realized that Capcom took care to include some aspects of real pathogens to create their fictional parasites.
