Ants, known for their complex social organization and ecological dominance, interact with a wide range of organisms, including parasitic fungi such as Ophiocordyceps unilateralis. This paper explores how this fungus infects and manipulates its ant hosts. After infection, the fungus invades the ant's body and nervous system, compelling it to exhibit abnormal behaviour, leaving the colony, climbing vegetation, and performing the fatal "death grip". This behaviour benefits the fungus by providing an ideal environment for spore dispersal. The discussion highlights the role of host specificity, genetic interactions, and the broader ecological impact of such parasitic relationships in regulating ant populations and maintaining ecosystem equilibrium.
