Parasite Presence Induces Gene Expression Changes in an Ant Host Related to Immunity and Longevity

Most species are either parasites or exploited by parasites, making parasite–host interactions a driver of evolution. Parasites with complex life cycles often evolve strategies to facilitate transmission to the definitive host by manipulating their intermediate host. Such manipulations could explain...
