Deadly fungus behind The Last of Us scenario may be beatable

Original: A deadly fungus may not live to see the last of us

New research covered by EurekAlert! and Medical Xpress suggests that a deadly fungus, often compared to the pathogen fictionalised in the series The Last of Us, may not be as unstoppable as feared. The finding offers hope that science could curb the fungus before it becomes a serious threat to humans, a message researchers are keen to share with the public.

Why now: The popular The Last of Us franchise keeps public attention on killer fungi, so new research tempering those fears draws wide interest.
