Phosphatidic acid as a limiting host metabolite for the proliferation of the microsporidium Tubulinosema ratisbonensis in Drosophila flies. In: Nature Microbiology, 4 (4), pp. 645, 2019, ISBN: 2058-5276.
Abstract
A Drosophila melanogaster systemic infection model for the microsporidian Tubulinosema ratisbonensis reveals that the parasite hijacks host phosphatidic acid, which is a limiting precursor for synthesis of parasite membranes and therefore proliferation.
