Acromyrmex; Atta; Delia; Hypocreales; Leucoagaricus; agar; biological control; biological control agents; conidiation; cultivars; fungi; gardens; leaf-cutting ants
Abstract:
... Leaf-cutter ants (Acromyrmex and Atta spp.) exhibit ancient and complex interactions with the symbiotic fungus Leucoagaricus (Basidiomycetes: Agaricales) from which they feed, and with the virulent and specific fungus Escovopsis weberi J.J. Muchovej & Delia Lucia (Ascomycetes: Hypocreales) that attacks the ants' fungal gardens. This system offers a unique opportunity to study possible avenues for ...

Abstract:
... Host—parasite dynamics can be altered when a host is infected by multiple parasite genotypes. The different strains of parasite are expected to compete for the limited host resources, potentially affecting the survival and reproduction of the host as well as the infecting parasites. Fungus-growing ants, including the well-known leaf-cutters, are an emerging model system for studying the evolution ...
