1. The interactions of ectoparasitic Laboulbeniales (Ascomycota) fungi and their hosts are rather understudied.
2. Rickia wasmannii Cavara is the most common ant parasitizing Laboulbeniales species in Europe, frequently infecting the relatively common Myrmica scabrinodis Nylander, 1846 (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) ant in high densities. This makes M. scabrinodis and R. wasmannii ideal model organisms for studies on fungal host-parasite interactions.
3. The aggressiveness and boldness of infected and uninfected M. scabrinodis workers were studied under lab conditions.
4. Infected workers were significantly less aggressive and less bold than the uninfected ones.
5. These results suggest that R. wasmannii has considerable effects on the behaviour of M. scabrinodis.
