Pathogenic fungus expresses effector proteins in combination with a symbiotic virus to behaviourally manipulate housefly hosts

2024-08-23

Abstract excerpt

Host manipulation by pathogens and parasites is a widespread phenomenon, but the molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. We investigated the summiting disease caused by the fungus Entomophthora muscae in houseflies, where infected flies climb to elevated positions and die, releasing infectious conidia. We performed dual-RNA sequencing of fly heads at different time points and identified candidate genes from bo...
