Gene expression during zombie ant biting behavior reflects the complexity underlying fungal parasitic behavioral manipulation
BACKGROUND: Adaptive manipulation of animal behavior by parasites functions to increase parasite transmission through changes in host behavior. These changes can range from slight alterations in existing behaviors of the host to the establishment of wholly novel behaviors. The biting behavior observ...
