Ehrlichia chaffeensis infections in Drosophila melanogaster.

Infection and immunity - 1 Nov 2009

Luce-Fedrow Alison, Von Ohlen Tonia, Chapes Stephen K

Abstract excerpt

Ehrlichia chaffeensis is an obligate, intracellular bacterium, transmitted by the tick Amblyomma americanum, and is the causative agent of human monocytic ehrlichiosis infections. We previously demonstrated that E. chaffeensis is capable of growing in Drosophila S2 cells. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that E. chaffeensis can infect adult Drosophila melanogaster. Adult Drosophila organisms were...
