Natural Genetic Variation in <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> Reveals Genes Associated with <i>Coxiella burnetii</i> Infection

2020-05-25

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The gram-negative bacterium Coxiella burnetii is the causative agent of Query (Q) fever in humans and coxiellosis in livestock. Association between host genetic background and Coxiella burnetii pathogenesis has been demonstrated both in humans and animals; however, specific genes associated with severity of infection remain unknown. We employed the Drosophila Genetics Reference Panel to perfo...
