    <title>Zombie fly fungus lures healthy male flies to mate with female corpses (University of Copenhagen)</title>

    <dc:creator>kellyramsey</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[" After having infected a female fly with its spores, the fungus spreads until its host has slowly been consumed alive from within. After roughly six days, the fungus takes over the behavior of the female fly and forces it to the highest point, whether upon vegetation or a wall, where the fly then dies. When the fungus has killed the zombie female, it begins to release chemical signals known as sesquiterpenes. "]]></description>

    <dc:creator>kellyramsey</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[" Researchers recently discovered this unusual twist to the cicada's already horrific zombification story. As the parasitic fungus called Massospora eats away at a cicada's abdomen, replacing it with a mass of yellow spores, the fungus also compels males to flick their wings in movements that are typically performed by females to attract mates.

" Healthy males that hurry over for female company, then try to mate with the infected male, which passes along the Massospora infection. "]]></description>

" Purdie has Valley fever, or coccidioidomycosis, a disease he caught in 2012 that’s caused by an airborne soil fungus. In his case, the fungus gave him meningitis, a swelling of the membranes that line the brain and spinal cord. The pain in his head has been intense, and the monthly drug injections are even more excruciating, he said. "]]></description>

    <title>These Zombie Flies Are Being Mind-Controlled By a Fungus (Liz Langley | National Geographic)</title>
    <dc:date>2018-08-10T19:16:38+00:00</dc:date>
    <link>https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/2018/08/zombie-flies-mind-control-fungus-animals/</link>
    <dc:creator>kellyramsey</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[" 

Before the fly dies, Elya says, the fungus induces the fly “to climb up something nearby” and push out its proboscis, or mouthparts. Then, the fly drools what is likely a fungal secretion onto the surface it’s standing on, a sticky substance that glues the hapless fly to the floor.

" The fungus then exerts a kind of mind-control on the fly, causing the fly to lift its wings upright, a position in which the wings “become stuck out from their back at a steep upward angle,” Elya says.

" A few hours later, the white fungus can be seen growing out through the bug’s brownish body, making a striped pattern. Spores form at the tips of the fungal fuzz, and then in an amazing display of physics launch from the fly’s body as if shot from a cannon, spreading in search of another fly to infect.

    <dc:creator>kellyramsey</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[" A fungal parasite that infects ants and manipulates their behavior to benefit the fungus' reproduction accomplishes this feat without infecting the ants' brains, according to a study led by Penn State researchers.

" Instead, Ophiocordyceps unilateralis sensu lato -- a complex of species sometimes called "zombie ant fungus" -- surrounds and invades muscle fibers throughout the ant's body, and fungal cells form a 3-D network that may enable them to collectively control host behavior, the researchers said.
