{{Quote|I heard there was a cure. Then I heard there wasn't. MAKE UP YOUR MINDS.|A [[Dominion]] [[marine]] on anti-zerg nanites|StarCraft Field Manual}} '''Anti-zerg nanites''' are a form of advanced [[nanites|nano-technology]]. They are used to sever [[infested terran]]s from the [[Zerg Swarm]] and some versions can even temporarily reverse the infestation process. ==Terran Experiments== {{Alternity}} [[File:Mutate1.jpg|thumb|A [[mutate]]]] Terran experiments with a captured zerg [[brood]] resulted in the creation of [[mutate]]s such as [[Sistask]], who became a member of the [[Alliance (Alternity)|Alliance]]. Nanites were used to keep the mutates' violent impulses in check... barely.<ref name="Alt:SCEd">Bill Slavicsek, David Eckelberry, Shawn F. Carnes (March 1, 2000). ''[[Alternity: StarCraft Edition]]''. Wizards of the Coast. ISBN 0-7869-1618-4</ref> ==Protoss Experiments== In the wake of the [[Brood War (conflict)|Brood War]], the [[protoss]] had devised a "radical nanotech serum" which they theorized could reverse the infestation process. This was tested by [[Artanis]] when [[Alexei Stukov]] was been [[Infested terran|resurrected]] by a zerg [[cerebrate]], [[Kaloth]], and had returned to the world of [[Braxis]]. Artanis summoned [[Jim Raynor]], and along with [[Taldarin]], fought through the zerg defenders and injected the serum into Stukov, reverting him to human. The serum allowed him to maintain his humanity for a time,<ref name="Map_ResIV">Blizzard Entertainment, Mass Media Inc. ''[[StarCraft 64]].'' (Nintendo of America, Inc.) Mission: [[Resurrection IV]] (in English). 2000.</ref> but the cure slowly failed, reverting him back to an infested terran.<ref name="SC2:HotS_PhantomsVoid"/> The nanotech could not be delivered efficiently in large quantities. Since then, the zerg have likely developed an immunity to the nanotech.<ref name="KindreganQA9">Brian Kindregan. 2012-12-17. [http://us.battle.net//sc2/en/blog/8165399 StarCraft II Creative Development Q&A - Part 9]. ''Blizzard Entertainment.'' Accessed 2012-12-17.</ref> Stukov was brought to the [[Moebius Foundation]], which studied the nanites as they slowly failed and he reverted into an infested terran.<ref name="SC2:HotS_PhantomsVoid">Blizzard Entertainment. ''[[StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm]]''. (Activision Blizzard). PC. Mission: ''[[Heart of the Swarm]]'', [[Phantoms of the Void]] (in English). 2013-03-12.</ref> After the [[End War]], the protoss still had no true reliable cure for infestation, though they had many treatements that were able to slow its spread.<ref name="SC:NatureBeastComplete">Brian Alexander, Akex Acks (w), Carlos Rodríguez (i) and Sandra Molina (c).
