Resumo

Fungos entomopatogênicos são amplamente conhecidos por parasitar e manipular o comportamento de várias ordens de artrópodes. Neste estudo, registramos o parasitismo envolvendo o fungo entomopatogênico Ophiocordyceps camponoti-renggeri e formigas hospedeiras da espécie Camponotus renggeri em um relicto de Mata Atlântica no bioma Caatinga, além de caracterizar os aspectos ambientais e ecológicos da interação. Encontramos 210 formigas operárias infectadas, fixadas predominantemente nas margens da face abaxial das folhas da vegetação local. A maioria das formigas usava folhas de filotaxia simples para fixação e morte, cujo tamanho variava amplamente. As formigas parasitadas morreram cerca de 1,5 m acima do solo. Esses resultados sugerem que Ophiocordyceps camponoti-renggeri possui alta virulência e que as mudanças comportamentais induzidas em seus hospedeiros favorecem sua aptidão
