do you know how long aids can be in you sytem before you die? Theoretically, forever, as I think HIV doesn't kill you but makes your immune system much weaker.

Yes so it leads to a weaker ant but it is a STD!

..Why would a disease evolve to make the colony less efficient, thus decreasing the amount of queens and males produced yearly? That's why it's called a disease, Billy. You might as well ask why did cancer evolve if it just kills people?

Ants only mate one day in their life. But males mate up to seven or eight times on that day?

Cancer didn't evolve.
I know Myrm, but most diseases have a reason for being pathogenic. It would be beneficial for an ant STD to live inside the ant without harming it. That's why I think an ans STD is very unlikely.

As Billy Bin Lid says, INBL, HIV can be in your system as you say for years before it develops into AIDS. AIDS doesn't kill you but it does destroy your immune system so that you can't even fight the common cold, and it is something as the common cold that ends up killing you, for example. Interestingly, women tend to be carriers of HIV but very rarely, if ever, does it develop into AIDS, whereas men actaully "get" AIDS. It's like men and women can carry the genes for colour-blindness but women vary rarely are colour-blind. It's guys that are born with it.

Awww, INBL, it could have been so many different reasons why your Messor queen died without it necessarily being down to disease/STD acquired during mating. It would be nigh on impossible to determine what happened to her.

Colds make you cough and sneeze, for example, because it spreads the virus. If it was not beneficial for the virus/infection to harm the host, I think it would probably evolve not to, and would no longer be a disease.

Diseases are "evolving" to be less lethal, like apparently less people with AIDS are dying from it. Or something >_<
