Prevalence of local immune response against oral infection in a Drosophila/Pseudomonas infection model.
Pathogens have developed multiple strategies that allow them to exploit host resources and resist the immune response.To study how Drosophila flies deal with infectious diseases in a natural context, we investigated the interactions between Drosophila and a newly identified entomopathogen, Pseudomonas entomophila.Flies orally infected with P.entomo
