Can the African weaver ant be used as a vector of entomopathogenic fungi to bolster the biological control of tephritid fruit fly pests?
Entomovectoring is an environmentally friendly pest control strategy where insects act as precision vectors of a biocide to target pest populations through phoretic dispersal. While bumblebees are the only insects used commercially for this purpose, other insect species, including ants, offer untapp...
