Virulence on the Fly: Drosophila melanogaster as a Model Genetic Organism to Decipher Host-Pathogen Interactions

1 Jun 2011

Abstract excerpt

To gain an in-depth grasp of infectious processes one has to know the specific interactions between the virulence factors of the pathogen and the host defense mechanisms. A thorough understanding is crucial for identifying potential new drug targets and designing drugs against which the pathogens might not develop resistance easily. Model organisms are a useful tool for this endeavor, thanks to the power of their...
