This project explores how ants detect pathogens and perform collective disease defenses. It aims to identify the chemical cues that trigger these behaviors and understand the neurological processing involved in pathogen detection.
Transmission of pathogens is facilitated in societies whose members are related and closely interact with each other.
Rapid detection of, and response to, incoming pathogens is thus crucial to prevent infectious disease outbreaks.
My previous work has shown that ant societies indeed react immediately to incoming pathogens by performance of collective disease defences, including antiseptic behaviours such as grooming of pathogen-exposed colony members and removal of diseased brood.
