(From Wikipedia)

FOXDIE is a retrovirus genetically modified to attack a specific person or peoples by identifying their DNA. FOXDIE works by first infecting the macrophages in the victim's body. It contains smart enzymes created through protein engineering that are programmed to respond to specific genetic patterns in the cells. They then respond to the DNA by becoming active. Using the macrophages they begin creating a type of cytokine called TNF epsilon, a peptide which causes cells to die. The TNF epsilon is carried along the bloodstream to the heart and there they attach to the TNF receptors in the heart cells. The heart cells suffer a shock and undergo an extreme apoptosis; in other words, the heart cells commit suicide. This kills the carrier with what appears to be a heart attack.
