Tropical carpenter ants (Camponotus leonardi) are turned into zombie ants when infected by the parasitic fungus (Ophiocordyceps unilateralis). Infected ants become erratic and zombie-like, and are manipulated by the fungus into dying at a spot that provides optimal conditions for fungal reproduction. New research looks at altered behavior patterns in zombie ants in Thailand and shows how the fungus manipulates ant behavior.
The honeydew that sap-feeding insects exude may also attract colonies of sooty mold. The sooty mold fungus does not feed directly on affected plants, but may grow so thick on leaves it interferes with photosynthesis, causing a gradual decline in tree health.nts and Sap-Feeders. Ants by themselves are rarely direct pests to plants, but when sap-feeding insects like aphids, scale insects, mealybugs or whiteflies infest a tree, ants will seize the opportunity.
