Abstract excerpt
One of the most important factors which affect the outcome of the host-parasite interactions is the genetic variation in particular those of the host. The aim of this study was to test the effect of variation within Drosophila melanogaster population on the encapsulation ability against the parasitoid Asobara tabida. To this end, nine isofemale lines of D. melanogaster which represent different levels of...
