Except as someone who studies biology as a hobby, I can tell you that this is not how either viruses or reproduction work. Frankly a virus would not be capable or reanimated corpses into the Living Dead either but that's beside the point.

At most, a virus would only be capable of weakening one's digestive system restricting them to a liquid diet and more specifically a blood diet, making one's skin more sensitive to UV rays, and giving them an allergy to garlic and silver.

Presumably, the only way to conceive a bat-winged liminal is to mate with one. Bare in mind that both Lamia and Harpies reproduce by mating with other species while a Centaur can be born of a human parent.

From what I can tell, the problem is that Vampires are producing offspring that aren't inheriting the condition of vampirism itself meaning the virus itself is essentially what's going extinct.

I imagine that if Curie had transmitted the virus to Papi the latter would have become a vampiric Harpy, gaining the traits I mentioned above while retaining her Harpy physiology as the Vampire Virus section's wording implied that bat wings aren't actually part of being a Vampire that the actual reason that Curie and her father have them is because they're both simply liminal bats that have the condition of vampirism.

I should also point out that Pirati is only one example of a liminal bat, she's not. Neither Aluru nor Reshia look like the Alaune from episode eleven's bestiary, instead looking more the one from Monster Girl Report so it's entirely likely that liminal bats can have large wingspans like Curie.

Lastly, I only mentioned Envy as an example of the kind of being Doppel might be.
