For her master’s degree, Texas A&M University graduate student Valerie Renee Holmes studied red imported fire ants (Solenopsis invicta) and the viruses that afflict them. In the course of that work, she realized that a thorough review of immunity among eusocial insects in the order Hymenoptera (ants, bees, and wasps) hadn’t been done, and so she published such a review in December 2021 in the Annals of the Entomological Society of America.
