Tropical carpenter ants (Camponotus leonardi) are turned into zombie ants when infected by the parasitic fungus (Ophiocordyceps unilateralis). Infected ants become erratic and zombie-like, and are manipulated by the fungus into dying at a spot that provides optimal conditions for fungal reproduction. New research looks at altered behavior patterns in zombie ants in Thailand and shows how the fungus manipulates ant behavior.
Native parasites. Although there are several native parasitic fungi, their impact on native plants and animals is largely in balance as they have co-existed for millions of years. The fungus known as beech strawberry (Cyttaria species) causes cancerous galls on beech trees. few native fungi have become parasitic on introduced crops. Harore, the bootlace mushroom (Armillaria novaezelandiae), usually decomposes dead logs and roots, but it can become parasitic on crop plants such as radiata pine and kiwifruit if it is already present in the soil where they are planted.
