This project investigates how the horsehair worm Gordionus violaceus manipulates its cricket host to induce self-drowning. By analyzing neuropeptides and their interactions, the research aims to uncover the molecular mechanisms behind this behavioral manipulation, contributing to our understanding of host-parasite dyna…
Parasites can be found everywhere, playing crucial roles in ecological, economical, and evolutionary contexts.
Despite this, host-parasite interactions, particularly those involving parasites that manipulate their hosts’ behavior to enhance transmission, are severely understudied.
We therefore lack the knowledge to fully understand parasite evolution, ecology, and ecosystem impact.
To begin uncovering the molecular basis of host manipulation, I aim to study the parasitic horsehair worm Gordionus…
