This project investigates the impact of parasites on social insects, particularly ants. It aims to understand how infections influence individual behavior and colony dynamics, exploring chemical, behavioral, and immune responses to enhance knowledge of parasite-host interactions.
Parasites are direct agents of natural selection, having significant effects on the reproductive success, life-history traits and phenotype of their hosts.
Social insect colonies, by living in high density group of close relative individuals, offer favourable conditions for the spread of parasites.
In response to infection, both infected and uninfected individuals exhibit behavioural changes that seem to reduce the risk of infection and the transmission of parasites.
In order to shed new light o…
