"Newly discovered fungal species makes zombies of cave spiders on island of Ireland"
Oh, man, just like The Last of Us!
Such manipulation of the host in order to favor dispersal of the fungal spores engendered the description of 'zombie-ant fungi' and led to the publication of a number of zombie-fungus themed books, as well as to a popular video game and the television series, The Last of Us. Behavioural-changing metabolites, such as dopamine, have since been identified in cultures of zombie-ant fungi of the genus Ophiocordyceps.
