==Cures==
The only known cure for Phazon Corruption was invented by [[Galactic Federation]] scientists when a Corrupting virus similar to a Phazon sickness spread to the organization's [[Aurora Unit]]s in several regions of the galaxy. The cure was in the form of a digital vaccine, similar to that of an anti-virus software, that can be uploaded into one of the units' networks and completely purge the virus.<ref name="242 dialogue">{{cite|"Fortunately, our scientists were quickly able to devise a vaccine."|[[Aurora Unit 242]]|Metroid Prime 3: Corruption}}</ref><ref name="Dane">{{cite|"We were able to completely purge the virus."|[[Admiral Dane]]|Metroid Prime 3: Corruption}}</ref> Unfortunately, this cure was only available to the Aurora Units, and not to the general bioforms that had been infected with Phazon, due to the vaccine being digitally implantable and nothing more.

The [[X Parasite|X parasites]] share certain characteristics with Phazon Corruption, but is however significantly different. X parasites can take control of a docile organism and amplify its aggressiveness, similar to corruption. However, the X are separate organisms of their own, and can replicate any other organism that has already been infected. The reaction to the X Parasite's effects is nearly identical to that of Corruption.<ref name="Old Bird">{{cite manga|The creature took on the host's memories, appearance, abilities, everything.
