“In 2013, Joel (Troy Baker) is a single father living near Austin, Texas with his twelve-year-old daughter Sarah (Hana Hayes). Then the fungus sprouts a fruiting body out of the ant’s corpse and rains spores of death down on the ant’s extended family.ĭon’t you think that a Coryceps fungus apocalypse would be a cool video game plot? Well, actually, it already is a cool video game plot! The Last of Us has been out for a while on PS3, and a remastered version was just released on PS4. For instance, Cordyceps fungus makes ants leave their normal routines to go bite onto leaves above major areas of ant traffic. But there are parasites that use corpses as points of transmission. Now, thankfully, there aren’t any parasites that re-animate dead corpses…yet. For instance, with rabies – the pathogen most similar to the classic idea of a zombie virus – the virus makes (some) animals behave aggressively, and this increases the probability that the virus will be transmitted to new hosts via bites. Usually, this involves the host getting eaten by the next host, like when infected ants hang out at the top of blades of grass, where they are likely to be eaten by cows or sheep. The point of this manipulation is to get the host to behave in such a way as to increase the parasite’s probability of transmission to the next host. There are “zombies” on Earth: parasite zombies! That is, some parasites can dramatically alter their host’s behavior, so that the host is effectively just a vehicle for the parasite. On the other hand, there are many, many biological inaccuracies involved in the popular zombie idea, as Neil deGrasse Tyson explains.īut if you’ve been following this blog or popular science for any length of time, you know that in a way, Neil deGrasse Tyson is wrong in saying that if zombies exist, they only exist on other planets. Sometimes their plots even have cool disease ecology components, like competition between the “zombie virus” and other host pathogens.

Do not link to 'real zombie' drug user videos (bath salts, flakka, etc) unless it is to draw tactical similarities. Do not ask how zombies could really exist they can't.

Posts and comments that are just discussing the plot etc will be removed. Unless you want to discuss a specific tactic that was used in a plot. If you don't and it is on topic it'll probably be fine but better content is always preferred.ĭiscussions should steer clear of movies, TV, video games, etc. Try to make sure you frame a discussion, question, etc. Don't simply post a picture of gear you think is cool.
