Do parasites have a role in ecosystems beyond just wreaking havoc on their hosts?
A scientific diagram showing three scenarios of fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) interaction with fungal spores (M. robertsii). The first panel shows a fly expressing ChcA75a successfully grooming off spores expressing Mcdc9. The second shows a fly lacking ChcA75a dying from infection by spores expressing Mcdc9. The third shows a fly expressing ChcA75a dying from infection by spores lacking Mcdc9. The text overlays describe each outcome: 'Successful grooming and spore elimination,' 'Successful infection and host death,' and 'Successful infection and host death.'
