Viral diversity and co‐evolutionary dynamics across the ant phylogeny
Molecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 19, October 2024.Abstract Knowledge of viral biodiversity within insects, particularly within ants, is extremely limited with only a few environmental viruses from invasive ant species identified to date. This study documents and explores the viral communities in ants.

Membrane permeabilisation and antimycoplasmic activity of the 18-residue peptaibols, trichorzins PA [PDF]
, 1998 The membrane permeabilisation properties of six linear natural 18-residue peptaibols, termed trichorzins PA, have been assessed on liposomes and on mollicutes (trivial name, mycoplasmas), a class of parasitic bacteria characterized by a small genome, the
