Symbiont-mediated immunocompetence in the dampwood termite (Zootermopsis angusticollis)
Meeting Abstract 93.2 Wednesday, Jan. 7 Symbiont-mediated immunocompetence in the dampwood termite (Zootermopsis angusticollis) SCHULTHEIS, K.F.*; ROSENGAUS, R.B.; BULMER, M.S.; Northeastern University; Northeastern University; Towson University schultheis.k@neu.edu Termites have a long co-evolutionary history with prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic gut microbes. The interaction with the eukaryotic protozoa has been historically considered critical in the nutritional welfare of lower termites. […]
Social transmission of immunity in the carpenter ant Camponotus pennsylvanicus
Meeting Abstract 93.3 Wednesday, Jan. 7 Social transmission of immunity in the carpenter ant Camponotus pennsylvanicus HAMILTON, Casey*; ROSENGAUS, Rebeca B.; Northeastern University; Northeastern University hamilton.cas@neu.edu Social insects exploit microbially-rich environments, nesting and foraging in soil, leaf litter, and/or decayed wood. Risk of disease transmission is particularly acute in their densely-populated colonies, and they use a variety […]
