The Fungus commonly known as "Zombie Fungus"
or scientifically known as Ophiocordyceps unilateralis
is a fungi that infects ants in the tropical regions of Africa.
This disease infects the ants brain and causes it to return
to its colony harmless but after 4-10 days of being infected
ant will have spores on its head that release the pathogen into the
air infecting other ants and causing the first infected ant to kill
or "eat" other members of its colony.
