Okay while we shouldn't base the mechanics of the Vampire Virus on how Vampirism works of other series, the idea that the virus itself being not only sentient but the "actual/original vampires" hinted at in Curie's profile might not be as far fetched as it sounds since veterinarian Dr. Ferox actually suggested vampirism is the result of an intracellular parasite altering the physiology of its host resulting in the vampire as it is commonly recognized.

That said I would not completely dismiss the idea that Curie was genuinely possessed by her father's ghost especially since said ghost had to be exorcised by Lala, a character who had already been established as actually being a psychopomp several chapters earlier.

Given their backstory, it's entirely possible that he did refuse to pass on while his daughter was starving to death do to her own fear of blood as well as frustration with the rather inglorious extinction of his species. His soul may have even been psychically drawn to the virus do to the link he had with it in life carrying over with him in death.
