Innate Behavior: A groom with a view
Are you sitting still right now, or are you moving? Occasionally, our brains compel us to scratch an itch, comb our fingers through our hair, or stroke our chin without even thinking about it. These actions may seem inconsequential to us, but they are examples of a unique type of behavior called self-grooming.
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 uncanny processes have remained mostly a mystery. Here, we leverage the recently established Entomophthora muscae-Drosophila melanogaster 'zombie fly' system to reveal the molecular and cellular underpinnings of summit disease, a manipulated behavior evoked by many fungal parasites.
Entomophthovirus: An insect-derived iflavirus that infects a behavior manipulating fungal pathogen of dipterans
New Results Maxwell C. Coyle, View ORCID ProfileCarolyn N. Elya, Michael Bronski, View ORCID ProfileMichael B. Eisen doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/371526 Abstract We discovered a virus infecting Entomophthora muscae, a behavior-manipulating fungal pathogen of dipterans. The virus, which we name Entomophthovirus, is a capsid-forming, positive-strand RNA virus in the viral family iflaviridae, whose known members almost exclusively infect insects.
