Parasitoid wasp venom SERCA regulates <i>Drosophila</i> calcium levels and inhibits cellular immunity
20 May 2013
Abstract excerpt
Because parasite virulence factors target host immune responses, identification and functional characterization of these factors can provide insight into poorly understood host immune mechanisms. The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is a model system for understanding humoral innate immunity, but Drosophila cellular innate immune responses remain incompletely characterized. Fruit flies are regularly infected by...
