You want to throw up watching the new HBO thriller “The Last Of Us”.  To parasitize and grow inside an ant’s body is terrifying! [Tropical fungus is real]

31/01/2023

The computer game “The Last of Us” was converted into the HBO television series “The Last of Us,” which launched last week and has gotten positive reviews. Even the storylines and scenarios can be carefully planned. On Rotten Tomatoes, “The Last of Us” get rated 96%!

Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, who acted in “Game of Thrones,” play the main characters in the drama, which is set in 2013 in the United States. Joel (Pedro Pascal), the main character, is a single father living in Texas with a daughter named Sarah who is 20 years old.

However, on a single night in America, the fungus had unpredictably transformed, preferring to turn its human host into a vicious zombie monster that ate humans. Twenty years later, the survivors are still sequestered away. Until one day, Joel decided that Ellie might be the key to vaccine research for a new weapon.

In reality, ants are parasitized by a tropical fungus, which consumes the ant’s body to collect nutrition. Once the fungus has allowed the ants to reach a specific size, it will start to control them so they leave the nest, climb up a tree, and hang from the leaves, and that is when the fungus spores will be spread and infect other ants. In addition, the name of the fungus is Ophiocordyceps unilateralis.
