Allergy and Asthma Proceedings, 1992
Two species of imported fire ants (IFA) now infest large areas of the southern United States. The most aggressive species, Solenopsis invicta, has adapted well to environmental conditions in the south where it has become a considerable agricultural pest and a significant public health problem.

Imported Fire Ants: The Ants from Hell!
Allergy and Asthma Proceedings, 1994Imported fire ants may certainly be considered the ANTS FROM HELL! This review focuses on both the interesting entomology of fire ants and the important medical characteristics of fire ant stings. They sting and they kill; they destroy; they mate in mid-air; and we may not be able to stop them.

Mechanics of fire ant aggregations
Nature Materials, 2015Fire ants link their bodies to form aggregations; these can adopt a variety of structures, they can drip and spread, or withstand applied loads. Here, by using oscillatory rheology, we show that fire ant aggregations are viscoelastic. We find that, at the lowest ant densities probed and in the linear regime, the elastic and viscous moduli are ...

Multiple Fire Ant Stings Indoors
Southern Medical Journal, 1995The progressive spread and increasing colony density of imported fire ants throughout the southeastern United States will result in increasing numbers of individuals with untoward reactions to the stings of these insects. In order to alert physicians that imported fire ant colonies may exist within homes and other inhabited dwellings and result in ...

Fire Ant-Detecting Canines: A Complementary Method in Detecting Red Imported Fire Ants
Journal of Economic Entomology, 2011In this investigation, detection dogs are trained and used in identifying red imported fire ants, Solenopsis invicta Buren, and their nests. The methodology could assist in reducing the frequency and scope of chemical treatments for red imported fire ant management and thus reduce labor costs and chemical use as well as improve control and quarantine ...

Hypersensitivity to Fire Ant Venom
Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, 1996Reading this article will reinforce the reader's knowledge of the taxonomy, origin, and distribution of fire ants and will increase his ability to diagnose and manage reactions caused by the two imported species, Solenopsis invicta and richteri. This review will also enhance the reader's knowledge of the available diagnostic methods and therapeutic ...

Fire Ant Envenomation in Children
Pediatrics, 1984Fire ants (Solenopsis richteri and Solenopsis invicta) have received scant attention from individuals other than agriculturists, entomologists, and victims of the bite and sting. Since their original importation into Mobile, Alabama, these small, seemingly benign, creatures have slowly migrated throughout most of the southern United States.
