Reversible Germline Dynamics of Caenorhabditis elegans During Exposure to Pathogenic Bacteria

Little is known of how pathogen infection affects reproductive fitness and fecundity in metazoa. Caenorhabditis elegans is a free-living nematode and well-characterized animal model that encounters pathogenic microbes in its natural environment. How these pathogens affect the reproductive capacity o...
