Hongos Cordyceps enemigos naturales de insectos y aliados de la humanidad.

Abstract

Resumen: Los hongos Cordyceps, conocidos como los marionetistas del reino fúngico y famosos en la cultura popular por “The Last of Us”, son realmente fascinantes más allá de la ficción. Con aproximadamente 1000 especies distribuidas en los trópicos, los Cordyceps crean una red de vida y muerte, convirtiendo a los invertebrados en anfitriones para su ciclo de vida. Sus huéspedes varían desde larvas de mariposas hasta hormigas trabajadoras. Su estrategia es sutil y precisa, liberando esporas que se adhieren y penetran, usurpando los recursos del huésped para florecer en formas naranjas y rojizas que emergen como cuerpos fructíferos, anunciando una nueva generación de zombis vegetales. Aunque estos hongos zombis pueden parecer amenazantes, su contacto con nosotros es inofensivo y potencialmente beneficioso. Los estudios sugieren que los compuestos químicos de los Cordyceps podrían ser aliados inesperados para nuestra salud. La clave es descubrir sus secretos biológicos y perfeccionar su cultivo en laboratorio, abriendo caminos hacia un futuro donde la medicina y la naturaleza se unen.
