FIM Track: a method for tracking Drosophila larval behavior in response to entomopathogenic nematodes.
Original language description
Drosophila melanogaster is one of the most widespread model organisms. It is used in various types of research fields involving genetics, immunology, developmental studies and others. There are also many research groups who focus on behavioural patterns of adults flies or their larvae. For this field a new method was developed called FIM Track (FTIR-based Imaging Method). It is based on frustrated total internal reflection (FTIR) and allows us to observe groups of Drosophila larvae, which are crawling at the surface of a translucent agar gel. Thanks to newly developed software, we can track larval movement and measure parameters such as velocity, area of larvae, accumulated distance, etc. These parameters are commonly used for evaluation of Drosophila responses to various stimulus (heat, light, food, parasite, etc.). We used FIM Track to study behaviour of third instar Drosophila larvae responding to entomopathogenic nematodes.
