Reason 1. If someone gets infected and loses mind why would they crave human flesh?
Reason 2. Most zombie apocalypse movies and games don't explain much about the infection.
Reason 3. After 30 years all zombies would be rotten to where they can't move.
Reason 4. An infection that causes people to turn into zombies would not spread across the world there are people cut off from the rest of the world.
The only way I could think of an infection like the video games and movies predict that's possible is this.
The infection causes you to be come hungrier and hungrier the more you eat to the point of insanity, |

Actually, there's a fungus that takes over ant brains, and completely reprograms them, in order to reproduce.
It's probably possible, it could jump species gaps. |

"Reason 1. If someone gets infected and loses mind why would they crave human flesh?"
Because otherwise, they wouldn't be zombies.
AKA, because without it nothing would happen in terms of plot.
"Reason 2. Most zombie apocalypse movies and games don't explain much about the infection."
And this is relevant how?
As for why, it's because there's little need to spend much time at all discussing the infection instead of actually progressing the plot / killing zombies.
"Reason 3. After 30 years all zombies would be rotten to where they can't move."
Depends.
They might not necessarily be animated corpses, in which case this is irrelevant.
"Reason 4. An infection that causes people to turn into zombies would not spread across the world there are people cut off from the rest of the world."
There are people cut off from civilization, yes.
This has no bearing at all on how a pandemic would successfully spread across the world.
"The only way I could think of an infection like the video games and movies predict that's possible is this.
The infection causes you to be come hungrier and hungrier the more you eat to the point of insanity,"
And that kind of zombie infection you're describing would entirely invalidate your third point.
Anyway, good job on realizing something that should be obvious for anyone with a working brain when looking at zombie fiction even slightly critically.

What part of a zombie is dead? The brain or the body? If it was the brain, how would it know to feed, or even do anything? If it was the body, it would not be able to move.

| They spread worldwide by infecting animals like birds. |

The main problem with the theory of zombie ant virus spreading to humans, is that the virus itself uses birds. The ants are controlled to walk to a high place, a bird eats it, the virus replicates in the bird (Without killing it, as it needs birds to help replicate.) and comes out when the bird defecates, ready for another ant to get infected. This virus has no need for the ant, or bird, to eat each other. It just uses the ants to get into the birds digestive system, and the bird to be warm enough to replicate.
Now, a "human zombie": - Has no proper ways to heat up it's body, so the virus would not be warm enough to replicate, and it would die. - Birds are not able to eat a human, apart from vultures. - Even then, vultures only prey on dead things, and this thing would be considered alive by a vulture, due to it walking around.

@Chib
I think, your talking about a different species than I am.
The one I meant, is a fungus, that makes the ant climb a tree, before a stalk pops out it's head, and releases spores, infecting all the ants around it. |
