Infection of Drosophila melanogaster by Tubulinosema kingi: stage-specific susceptibility and within-host proliferation.
Despite its importance as a model organism very little is known about the interaction between Drosophila and its microsporidian pathogens. Here we report on the relative susceptibility of Drosophila melanogaster life history stages to infection by Tubulinosema kingi, and on patterns of pathogen prol...
