Caenorhabditis elegans as an animal host to study oomycete infection : discovery of the chitinase-like gene family, resistance genes that are transcriptionally controlled by the antagonistic paralogs pals-22 and pals-25

Abstract excerpt
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is used as a model system to study eukaryotic molecular responses to pathogens. These investigations have contributed to revealing key C. elegans innate immune defense mechanisms, such as the expression of inducible pathogen specific resistance genes. In general, researchers have mainly utilised pathogens not shown to naturally interact with C. elegans, or natural pathogens larg...
