A parental transcriptional response to microsporidia infection induces inherited immunity in offspring

2020-10-11

Abstract excerpt

Inherited immunity is an emerging field and describes how the transfer of immunity from parents to offspring can promote progeny survival in the face of infection. The mechanisms of how inherited immunity is induced are mostly unknown. The intracellular parasite Nematocida parisii is a natural microsporidian pathogen of Caenorhabditis elegan s. Here, we show that N. parisii -infected worms produce primed offspr...
