Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Insects deploy cellular and humoral defences to defend themselves against pathogens and parasites. The recent discovery that fly defences are commonly supplemented by inherited protective microbes suggests that symbiont-mediated protection is common. Resistance evolution may have a more complex dynamic than previously described. |
