In West Africa, flucosomiasis is said to be a common parasite infected by cattle and sheep, and is now found all over the world. It's such a common parasite that scientists have recently discovered that they have evolved a powerful ability similar to that of science fiction movies at some point — invading and controlling the host brain.
Columinal flux has different host organisms in different life cycles, eventually forming a cycle that reproduces from generation to generation.
Worm eggs: The eggs are excreted with ruminant feces, and enter the snail with food when the snail is eating, and go through four stages of worm eggs, hairy worms, cytocystis, and tail cymbals, and finally excreted from the body by the snail.
Cymbidium: Ants like to eat snail-like mucus balls, at which time the cystic larvae smoothly enter the ant's abdomen and develop into cysticers in the ant's abdomen. These cysticers are generally close relatives, one of them will invade the ant's brain through the ant's body, and the other will wait quietly in the abdomen. The instinct of living things is like the existence of consciousness, and countless of our scientists, after years of research, have finally only known its appearance, not its roots. The cysticercos have the instinct to invade the ant's brain and control the entire ant's body by controlling the brain, thus turning the ant into his controlled zombie.
Their ultimate goal is animals such as cattle and sheep, which is their ultimate home, and in order to return home as soon as possible, the cysticers on the head of the ants control the ants to climb onto blades of grass or flower crowns, waiting for the cattle and horses to eat.
Adult insects: Once they enter the body of cattle and horses, all members in the abdomen of the ants strive to migrate like a liver, and after entering the liver, they begin to cultivate and live, entering the adult stage of their life cycle, and the adult stage of their life can even reach 5 years. In the final host liver, they thrive in stability, and egg cells are excreted with the host's feces.
At this point, the lumen flux has completed its entire life cycle. However, there is still a question here, what about the hero in the tail stage? It enters the ant brain to control the ant brain, and what happens in the end? It has been found that from the moment it enters the ant's brain, it has lost its freedom, and its fate is linked to the ant's shell and disappears with the decomposition of the zombie ant.
As a simple parasite, columinal fluorozoites have evolved self-sacrificing altruism in the long evolution, and evolved the ability to control the host's brain to turn the host into its own controllable zombie. This may only be counted as an instinct, an instinct to protect the smooth reproduction of the population.
Thousands of worlds, no wonders, I am the egg said science, welcome to pay attention to the comments.
