This project studies how immune differences among social insects, specifically the clonal raider ant, affect disease transmission. By manipulating immune responses and observing behaviors, it aims to clarify the role of individual and collective immunity in controlling infections within groups.
In social species, frequent interactions among individuals increase the risk of disease transmission.
Insects rely on innate immune defenses based on conserved molecular pathways, but immune competence varies due to genetic and environmental factors, affecting not only individual susceptibility but also the potential for onward transmission.
In social insects, additional behavioral defenses, collectively termed social immunity, reduce disease spread through grooming, corpse removal, and avoidanc…
