  bibo_abstract:
  - To prevent epidemics, insect societies have evolved collective disease defences
    that are highly effective at curing exposed individuals and limiting disease transmission
    to healthy group members. Grooming is an important sanitary behaviour—either performed
    towards oneself (self-grooming) or towards others (allogrooming)—to remove infectious
    agents from the body surface of exposed individuals, but at the risk of disease
    contraction by the groomer. We use garden ants (Lasius neglectus) and the fungal
    pathogen Metarhizium as a model system to study how pathogen presence affects
    self-grooming and allogrooming between exposed and healthy individuals. We develop
    an epidemiological SIS model to explore how experimentally observed grooming patterns
    affect disease spread within the colony, thereby providing a direct link between
    the expression and direction of sanitary behaviours, and their effects on colony-level
    epidemiology. We find that fungus-exposed ants increase self-grooming, while simultaneously
    decreasing allogrooming. This behavioural modulation seems universally adaptive
    and is predicted to contain disease spread in a great variety of host–pathogen
    systems. In contrast, allogrooming directed towards pathogen-exposed individuals
    might both increase and decrease disease risk. Our model reveals that the effect
    of allogrooming depends on the balance between pathogen infectiousness and efficiency
    of social host defences, which are likely to vary across host–pathogen systems.@eng
