dc.description.abstractThis chapter explores the epidemiological framework of disease constructed in the 2010 Wii-console release TRAUMA TEAM (Atlus Games). By fabricating the antagonistic »Rosalia virus« as an ailment of insidious phases, volatile symptoms reminiscent of present-day outbreaks that perplexed contemporary practitioners, of molecular complexity and spread through such conspicuous and rudimentary ecological means as to make surreptitious, the game designers have provided a vivid allegory advocating for a modern paradigm of disease theory/epidemiology; one that transcends a web of causation. The ultimate result is a game that embodies and engages not only complex medical theory, but showcases the downfalls of provincialism regarding the gameplaying apparatus as a whole.en
