Pathogen-specific social immunity is associated with erosion of individual immune function in an ant. View article details on hiswai:

Summary

The article examines the immune response pathways in Lasius niger ants, focusing on NF-κB signaling's role in individual immunity, with specific attention to bacterial infections. It highlights variation in antimicrobial peptide expression and potential interplay with aspects like social immunity, signaling defects, and infection types, connecting to the key concept of 'healing' in insect biology. The tags related to immune system components, signal transduction, especially IMD pathways, and their evolution in hymenoptera, frame the genetic and functional context of the study.
