Microbe Talk: MicroNews July
Posted on July 31, 2020 by Microbiology Society
MicroNews is the sister series of our podcast Microbe Talk, where we discuss microbiology in the news over the last month. As COVID-19 is taking over the news elsewhere, we decided to focus on other stories from the microbial world, including parasitic fungi with behaviour-changing effects, medieval medicines and the smell of sweat.
Return of the zombie cicadas: manipulative qualities of fungal-infected flyers
Caterpillar fungus on brink of extinction
Medieval medicine remedy could provide new treatment for modern day infections
Turmeric could have antiviral properties
