Immersion infection of germ-free zebrafish with Listeria monocytogenes induces transient expression of innate immune response genes
Zebrafish, Denio rerio, could be an alternative to other classic animal models for human infectious diseases to examine the processes of microbial infections and host-pathogen interactions in vivo because of their small body dimension but large clutch size. We established germ-free zebrafish infecti...
