Transcriptomics of an extended phenotype: parasite manipulation of wasp social behaviour shifts expression of caste-related genes
Parasites can manipulate host behaviour to increase their own transmission and fitness, but the genomic mechanisms by which parasites manipulate hosts are not well understood. We investigated the relationship between the social paper wasp, Polistes dominula, and its parasite, Xenos vesparum (Insecta...
