Fungal Pathogen Infection by <i>Metarhizium anisopliae</i> Alters Climbing Behavior of <i>Lymantria dispar</i> with Tree-Top Disease Induced by LdMNPV

Certain parasites manipulate host behavior following infection to enhance their own dispersal and transmission. Lepidopteran larvae infected with baculoviruses exhibit increased locomotion, ascending to the apex of their host plant where they ultimately die in a characteristic inverted, liquefied po...
