<i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> is a powerful host model to study mycobacterial virulence

2022-05-12

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Drosophila melanogaster ( Drosophila ), the common fruit fly, is one of the most extensively studied animal models we have, with a broad, advanced, and organized research community with tools and mutants readily available at low cost. Yet, Drosophila has barely been exploited to understand the underlying mechanisms of mycobacterial infections, including those caused by the top-killer pathogen...
