Investigating the role of metapleural glands in social immunity and the role of co-founding in pathogen resistance in Messor barbarus

The risk of pathogen infection due to increased within-group transmission is theorised to be a major potential cost of group-living and eusociality. Many eusocial insects have evolved defence mechanisms to mitigate this risk and mount collective defences against pathogens. Social immunity describes...
