Cellular Immunity of <i>Drosophila willistoni</i> Reveals Novel Complexity in Insect Anti-Parasitoid Defense

Coevolution of hosts and their parasites has shaped heterogeneity of effector hemocyte types, providing immune defense reactions with variable effectiveness. In this work, we characterize hemocytes of <i>Drosophila willistoni</i>, a species that has evolved a cellular immune system with...
