THE COCKROACH “can be parasitized by the parasitoid Moniliformis moniliformis, leading to increased locomotion activity … the same cockroach species can be parasitized by the tropical wasp Ampulex compressa, inducing a zombie-like state and preventing it from any spontaneous locomotion. These parasites may have conflicting interests, and in case of coparasitation, this might be expressed in different manipulation patterns than for singly infected hosts.”
