Mechanisms behind the madness: how do zombie-making fungal entomopathogens affect host behavior to increase transmission?
Transmission is a crucial step in all pathogen life cycles. As such, certain species have
evolved complex traits that increase their chances to find and invade new hosts. Fungal …
