Researchers at the University of Copenhagen studied 1,000 infected ants in the Bidstrup Forests near Roskilde , Denmark .
The parasites are a type of flatworm known as the lancet liver fluke (Dicrocoelium dendriticum) These worms live out their lives as adults inside cows or other grazing ruminants.
Once inside an ant, the larvae enter their next stage of life and migrate to the ant’s stomach, but one makes its way to the brain and hijack it.
