Fungal diseases have been recently introduced into the medical field. Fungi are a part of the domain Eukarya, where it once was considered in the plant kingdom. The domain Eukarya is consistent with eukaryotic organisms that contain a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. Fungal diseases are more difficult to treat compared to antibiotics for bacterial diseases because the fungus and the host are eukaryotic organisms. Therefore, any treatment of the fungus may affect the host too and can develop resistance to antifungal medication.

The Zombie Worm use their “root-like structures” to latch onto whale bones; the only known source of sustenance (Ennis). The structures extract the dietary needs from the bone after an acid is released and the bone is dissolved (Ennis). The oils and fats are then digested by internal bacteria (Ennis). Though little to none is known about the Yeti Crab their food source is conjectured by scientists. They have come to the hypothesis that the crabs hairs “grow mineral bacteria” (Bliss).
