Drosophila melanogaster is a species of fly in the family
drosophilidae. It is generally known as the common fruit fly or
vinegar fly. The use of Drosophila melanogaster in biological
sciences has spanned over 100 years. Its history has a promising
beginning, where D. melanogaster become one of the most popular
models for studies involving modern biology. The fly is small and
yellow-brown, with brick red eyes and transverse black rings across
the abdomen. Although it has a relatively simple body structure,
Drosophila has a number of characteristics which make it a suitable
model for studying host interactions with important human
pathogens. The contributors of this book discuss genes linked to
species diagnostic phenotype in Drosophila; Drosophila melanogaster
and how it relates to human malignancies; and Drosophila
melanogaster as a host model for studying the pathogenesis and
host-pathogen interaction of the Staphylococcus aureus infection.
