This project uses the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, to study genetic factors influencing susceptibility to trypanosomatid parasites. By leveraging genetic mapping and gene expression analysis, it aims to uncover pathways that affect infection risk, providing insights into insect-vectored diseases.
One of the specific United Nations Sustainable Development goals is to end epidemics of neglected tropical diseases by year 2030.
Some of the most devastating of these diseases are caused by trypanosomatid parasites that are transmitted to humans via the bites of infected insects from the order Diptera (Flies).
While most natural fly vectors pose a challenge to study under laboratory conditions, Drosophila melanogaster, with its well-established molecular, genetic and genomic toolkit and a vast…
