Drosophila melanogaster microbiome after infection with Heterorhabditis bacteriophora nematodes

To understand the importance of microbial composition in shaping immune modulation, it is imperative to investigate the functional role of the microbiota through parasitic infection. To achieve this, we used entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) of the species Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (axenic and symbiotic with Photorhabdus luminescens).
