Every one of us has the experience of suffering from bacterial and viral infections respectively caused by microbes -- bacteria and viruses. We can easily get infected because those contagious microbes can spread through many ways like coughing and sneezing, close contact with infected people, infected creatures, and contact with contaminated surfaces, food and water. Those bacterial and viral infections can cause mild, moderate, and severe diseases. And there are also some contagions that could cause weird behaviors.
1. ATCV-1 chlorovirus
ATCV-1 chlorovirus, the virus known for typically infecting algae, can also infect humans, according to a recent research. These scientists tested 100 people and more than 40 percent were infected with ATCV-1 and all of them were found with 10 percent slower visual motor speed and visual processing. Researches indicate that this kind of virus can make people become €stupid€.
2. Toxoplasma
Toxoplasma gondii parasites are existing in gut of Cats. Toxoplasma would be dangerous for pregnant women and people with compromised immune systems but for a healthy adult it is not too harmful. Interestingly, some researches show that it can subtly affect our sociability by changing our neural nets.
3. Intestinal bacteria
Scientists are studying the influence of some microbes on human's moods, feelings and behavior. Researchers have found probiotics can create a more connected brain and boost our moods. An experiment on "autistic" mice has also shown that probiotics can reduce abnormal behavior.
4. Rabies
Rabies has been found to be associated with anger for long. Once human are infected with rabies virus, they can become very aggressive, like biting people. And some furious rabies will cause hallucinations and delusions, along with profuse sweating and salivating. Mammals such as dogs and cats can carry and spread this virus through biting.
5. Fungus
Normal ants will rarely deviate from a trail along a tree, but zombie ants wander aimlessly. Zombie ants Fungus suffer convulsions that will cause the animals to fall down the tree. This strange behavior of ants is caused by certain brain-controlling chemicals emitted by parasitic fungus Ophiocordyceps. Researchers find that fungus is species-specific, certain strains of fungus preferring a certain kind of ants.
