Wild-type <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> as an alternative model system for investigating the pathogenicity of <i>Candida albicans</i>

4 May 2011

Abstract excerpt

Candida spp. are opportunistic pathogens in humans, and their systemic infections display upwards of 30% mortality in immunocompromised patients. Current mammalian model systems have certain disadvantages in that obtaining results is time consuming owing to the relatively long life spans and these results have low statistical resolution because sample sizes are usually small. We have therefore evaluated the...
