Key Finding
Moreover, ectopic expression of CvBV-26-4 caused fly haemocyte apoptosis and increased the susceptibility of flies to bacteria. The of the study indicate that the BAP gene family from the bracoviruses group is crucial for immunosuppression during the early stages of parasitism.
Countstar Connection
Within the research, Countstar (model not specified) assessed cell number and viability in the study's cell samples during quality assessment in the 2023 Virulence study.
