Using RNASeq to investigate the involvement of the <i>Ophiocordyceps</i> clock in ant host infection and behavioral manipulation

2023-01-20

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Introduction</h4> Parasites can modify host behavior to ensure their own growth and transmission. Multiple species of the fungi Ophiocordyceps infect ants, but in a species-specific manner; one fungal species co-evolved to successfully modify the behavior of one ant species. However, several characteristics of the behavioral modification seem to be similar across different Ophiocordyceps...
