| rdfs:comment | - The Progenitor Virus also known as the Mother Virus and Founder Virus in alternate translations, is a virus which predates the T-Virus.
- The Progenitor Virus was a double stranded RNA virus originating in ancient Western Africa, which was the basis of the bioterrorist agent known as the T-Virus. Originally highly potent poisonous plants that were central in the culture of the Ndipaya tribe, and the flowers were harvested by Umbrella to extract the Progenitor virus.
- "Stairway of the Sun" was first discovered by Westerners in the 19th century, and the virus that was extracted from it would become the base from which the Umbrella Corporation's most successful Bio Organic Weapons research would stem several decades later. Unfortunately for Marcus, the mass-cultivated flowers were found to not produce the virus and it was concluded by Bailey that local environmental factors were necessary for its cultivation.

| abstract | - "Stairway of the Sun" was first discovered by Westerners in the 19th century, and the virus that was extracted from it would become the base from which the Umbrella Corporation's most successful Bio Organic Weapons research would stem several decades later. The first Western account of the virus dates back to the work of Henry Travis, a man who mentioned the flower over a century before and was promptly discredited as part of a financial move by his brother to prevent anyone else capitalizing on the findings. The next search for the virus began in the 1960s, initially by Lords Oswell E. Spencer and Edward Ashford in 1962, who learned of the virus through Travis' works. It was rediscovered in the Kijuju region of West Africa on December 4, 1966 during an expedition led by Lord Spencer and Doctor James Marcus (his student, Brandon Bailey, being among them) after three months of searching. Naming the virus within it "Progenitor", Dr. Marcus made preparations to leave Africa with a sample to begin his research immediately. Unfortunately for Marcus, the mass-cultivated flowers were found to not produce the virus and it was concluded by Bailey that local environmental factors were necessary for its cultivation.
