Trypanosomatids are common and diverse parasites of Drosophila.

Parasitology - 1 Jun 2011

Wilfert L, Longdon B, Ferreira A G A, Bayer F, Jiggins F M

Abstract excerpt

Drosophila melanogaster is an important model system of immunity and parasite resistance, yet most studies use parasites that do not naturally infect this organism. We have studied trypanosomatids in natural populations to assess the prevalence and diversity of these gut parasites. We collected several species of Drosophila from Europe and surveyed them for trypanosomatids using conserved primers for two genes....
