Trophallaxis and prophylaxis: social immunity in the carpenter ant Camponotus pennsylvanicus

In social insects, group behaviour can increase disease resistance among nest-mates and generate social prophylaxis. Stomodeal trophallaxis, or mutual feeding through regurgitation, may boost colony-level immunocompetence. We provide evidence for increased trophallactic behaviour among immunized wor...
