Drosophila as a Model Organism in Host–Pathogen Interaction Studies

Drosophila as a Model Organism in Host–Pathogen Interaction Studies

Owing to the genetic similarities and conserved pathways between a fruit fly and mammals, the use of the Drosophila model as a platform to unveil novel mechanisms of infection and disease progression has been justified and widely instigated. Gaining proper insight into host–pathogen interactions and...
