“…The hybrid imported fire ants possess unique venom proteins not found in their parent species. For instance, lateral flow immunoassays on the venom proteins revealed that hybrid imported ants from Tennessee contained Sol i 2, Sol r 2, as well as the proteins Solh2, Solh2Tr97, and Solr2A69 [ 65 ]. Solh2 and Solh2Tr97 were believed to be unique to the hybrid imported ants.…”

In the United States, imported fire ants are often referred to as red imported fire ants, Solenopsis invicta Buren, black imported fire ants, S. richteri Forel, and their hybrid (S. invicta × S. richteri). Due to their aggressive stings and toxic venom, imported fire ants pose a significant threat to public health, agriculture, and ecosystem health. However, venom plays a vital role in the survival of fire ants by serving various crucial functions in defense, foraging, and colony health maintenance. Numerous reviews and book chapters have been published on fire ant venom. Due to its medical importance and the expanding global distribution of these ants, fire ant venom research remains an active and highly productive area, leading to the discovery of new components and functions. This review summarizes the recent advances in our understanding of fire ant venom chemistry and its functions within fire ant colonies.
