Zombies, as depicted in popular culture, are fictional creatures and do not exist in the real world. However, the concept of zombie transmission is often explored in horror movies, books, and video games, with various methods being portrayed.
Fictional Zombie Transmission Methods:
-
Viral Infection: This is the most common method, where a virus, often called a "zombie virus," infects humans and transforms them into zombies. The virus can spread through bites, scratches, or even bodily fluids. Examples include 28 Days Later and World War Z.
-
Fungal Infection: In some stories, a parasitic fungus, like Cordyceps in The Last of Us, infects and controls human brains, leading to zombie-like behavior.
-
Magical or Supernatural Means: Some zombie narratives involve supernatural elements like curses, voodoo, or necromancy, where individuals are resurrected as zombies through magical rituals.
-
Radiation or Chemical Exposure: In some scenarios, exposure to radiation or chemical agents can cause mutations and transform humans into zombies.
It is important to note that these are fictional concepts and not based on scientific evidence.
