This fungus type i have posted infects the brain of animals and takes control over them for a certain time, i asked because im interested in the subject, its the closest thing coming to zombies.
I discovered this weird fungus because its the main inspiration for my favourite game and the fish you posted looked like one of those infested ants in wiki.
That fungus only infects ants. And by comparison, the fungus does not cause the ant to become violent, attacking others.
The closest thing which comes to zombies in mammals is rabies which also infects humans. It also is one of the handful of diseases which have a 100% mortality. In animals such as wolf and dog, it truly makes them vicious and causes them to attack others, biting them and thus infecting new hosts with the virus. There is no cure. But the rabies vaccine (if correctly used within critical time frame), imparts 100% immunity against the infection.
