Experts claimed that a zombie outbreak is possible, and it would only take the evolution of a specific virus or parasite to achieve this.
It can be said that this event is one of humanity's greatest fears, inspired by a large group of Hollywood films, and scientists believe that a zombie outbreak may actually happen.
And while it would be impossible to believe that the dead would rise and feed on the living, experts believe that a parasite could affect the brain, or a dangerous virus could develop.
For example, a parasite known as Toxoplasma gondii infects the brains of rodents.
The parasite can then manipulate the behavior of the rodents to make them less afraid of cats, as the parasite hopes to be present. The parasite has the ability to cause the rodent to turn toward the cat, to be eaten.
However, what scientists are concerned about is just how similar rats and humans are, which is why they are used for drug testing and medical discoveries.

Already, half of people worldwide are believed to have a passive version of the parasite on their brains, in the form of harmless cysts. For some immunocompromised persons, the parasite has seized the link associated with schizophrenia and suicidal tendencies.
A study from the University of California revealed that the parasite is more powerful than previously thought.
Wendy Ingham, who was involved in the study, says the research team tested the parasite in mice, which were ultimately unaffected by the presence of a predator.
She warned of the danger of toxoplasma, by saying: “The idea that this parasite knows more about our brains than we do, and has the ability to induce the desired change in the complex rodent behavior, is a very amazing idea. Complicated."
Other experts believe that viruses are what will eventually turn the human race into zombies.
Dr. Ben Newman, professor of virology at the University of Reading, revealed that a virus such as rabies could evolve and conquer humanity.
He told Yahoo, "There are parasites close to making zombie outbreaks possible. But the real alien creatures trapped in Mother Nature's vault are viruses. There are more viruses than we will ever discover, and I bet that somewhere in nature something like this happens. If you look." To rabies, you find that it completely changes the way your dog behaves.Â
