If the disease is supposed to be based on actual biology, it's got lots of insurmountable obstacles.

I think we have to assume that it's running on magic. I'm also inclined to think that Minna didn't work out more of the details than she needed for any particular plot line.

I still think that, of terrestrial organisms, the most likely is some kind of mycobacterium rather than virus or pure fungus. A network of mycobacteria with a group mind running it maybe? And I have wondered if the purpose might be softening up Earth and depleting it of mammals as a prelude to invasion?
