Functional studies on transcriptone profiles of Drosophila larvae infected by entomopathogenic nematodes
Original language description
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) Heterorhabditis bacteriophora are parasitic worms, which are associated with their gut symbiotic bacteria Photorhabdus luminescens. They are generally lethal to insects and used as biocontrol agents. Nematodes can enter to the host via the mouth, anus, spiracles or penetrating through the cuticle. Once they entered into host, they release their gut bacteria and then work in concert with the bacteria to kill the host. Nematode infection in Drosophila is a natural infection, in contrast to many kinds of bacterial infection (through injection). Drosophila lacks an adaptive immune system of the vertebrate style and therefore relies on innate immunity to combat infection against different invaders like bacteria, fungi, viruses and other parasites. Until now, our knowledge on Drosophila immunity mostly comes from studies of bacterial and fungal infections.
