| 説明 | This fungus infects, kills, and zombifies houseflies for a living. Not only its mycelium may grow into the fly's brain, controlling its behaviour so it climbs to a high position and opens its wings to facilitate proper dispersal of the fungus spores (while the unfortunate hosts gets paralized and slowly dies over 5-7 more days), but recent research just found that the fungus messes also with the species sexual behaviour. Entomophtora muscae furtherly facilitates its transmission by making infected dead flies attractive to males (swelling up the abdomen) and perhaps liberating chemical compounds acting as courtship-elicitors, . |
