Candida albicans infection model in Drosophila melanogaster suggests a strain-specific virulent factor boosting a stormy innate immune response
Data herein suggests the presence of a strain-specific component in <i>C. albicans</i> as the booster of a "stormy" innate immune response, which must be further investigated, and position <i>D. melanogaster</i> as a useful model for evaluating virulent factors related to the modulation of the innate immunity.
