  bibo_abstract:
  - Animal social networks are shaped by multiple selection pressures, including the
    need to ensure efficient communication and functioning while simultaneously limiting
    disease transmission. Social animals could potentially further reduce epidemic
    risk by altering their social networks in the presence of pathogens, yet there
    is currently no evidence for such pathogen-triggered responses. We tested this
    hypothesis experimentally in the ant Lasius niger using a combination of automated
    tracking, controlled pathogen exposure, transmission quantification, and temporally
    explicit simulations. Pathogen exposure induced behavioral changes in both exposed
    ants and their nestmates, which helped contain the disease by reinforcing key
    transmission-inhibitory properties of the colony's contact network. This suggests
    that social network plasticity in response to pathogens is an effective strategy
    for mitigating the effects of disease in social groups.@eng
