Zusammenfassung:Vass and Nappi examine the interactions between Drosophila melanogaster and its larval endoparasitoids to illustrate the nature and genetic bases of the counterstrategies used by the combatants in their struggles to protect their own homeostatic mechanisms. In addition, they discuss some of the cellular and humoral mechanisms involved in insect innate immunity and their associated signal transduction processes.
