☝🏼 Of these terms, proper aristocracy-metaphor vampyres would of course never refer to their own as an ‘infestation.’ Their potential prey would.
They would regard themselves as an apex ‘society’ or ‘gathering’ of beings. Creatures of one thirst.

‘Colony’ works. It refers already to certain human communities and to groups of parasites.
By analogy, the entire population of vampyres in a given area could be termed an ‘infestation.’
A family- or clan-like group under a single arch-vampyre could be termed a ‘bloodshare.’

With the greatest possible respect for Mary Shelley, whose imaginative template gave us so much—including Gojira and Jurassic Park—other ways exist to view scientific endeavour.
I’m rather glad we have general anesthesia, weather satellites, vaccines, airplanes, and contact lenses.

An anti-science bent can be seen in many popular science fiction stories. Cautions against hubris are all to the good, but often curiosity and innovation in themselves get characterised as ‘playing God’—a pursuit the people who engage in it owe the rest of us an apology for.
