Cross-talk between immunity and behavior: insights from entomopathogenic fungi and their insect hosts
Insects are one of the most successful animals in nature, and entomopathogenic fungi play a
significant role in the natural epizootic control of insect populations in many ecosystems. The …

Signatures of transposon-mediated genome inflation, host specialization, and photoentrainment in Entomophthora muscae and allied entomophthoralean fungi
Despite over a century of observations, the obligate insect parasites within the order
Entomophthorales remain poorly characterized at the genetic level. In this manuscript, we …

Neural mechanisms of parasite-induced summiting behavior in 'zombie'Drosophila
For at least two centuries, scientists have been enthralled by the “zombie” behaviors
induced by mind-controlling parasites. Despite this interest, the mechanistic bases of these …

Viral-and fungal-mediated behavioral manipulation of hosts: summit disease
Summit disease, in which infected hosts seek heights (gravitropism), first noted in modern
times by nineteenth-century naturalists, has been shown to be induced by disparate …
