According to one scientist, mankind might become extinct due to the immense damage that fungi can wreak.
In what way will the world end? From the average person to scientists, everyone takes this subject seriously. Different conjectures are made in such a circumstance; some believe that nuclear war is the cause, while others believe that viruses like Covid-19 are to blame. A scientist, however, has made a different assertion from these two. According to one scientist, mankind might become extinct due to the immense damage that fungi can wreak.
Scenes from television shows like The Last of Us, according to professor of molecular microbiology, immunology, and infectious diseases Arturo Casadevall, were real. Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsay feature in a post-apocalyptic television series that explores what would occur if a widespread fungal outbreak wiped out most of civilization.
We refer to the fungus virus as Cordyceps. Its victims become zombie-like monsters whose bites, or their tiny spores, infect humans and make them become monsters. Professor Casadevall, 67, of the esteemed Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, USA, is quoted in the Daily Star as saying that the fungus poses a "real threat" to humankind.
His most recent book, What If Fungi Win?, was released last month. draws attention to the "very real possibility" of a fungal-caused pandemic. As of yet, there are no known fungi that have the ability to transform people into zombies. However, I'm sure that over time, additional, deadly fungal infections will surface. We've really already saw it occur," he remarked.
"There is growing evidence that some fungi have the potential to spread new diseases that will harm many more humans in an unprecedented way," he added, referring to the likelihood that fungi may transfer "new diseases" to humanity as a result of climate change. The fungus or fungal organisms just need to be able to adjust to warmer temperatures in order to do this. As things are right now, the majority of these species cannot withstand temperatures higher than 37°C. However, there is a way around this cap. In the meanwhile, medical research continues to be bewildered by fungus.
