Carton Y, Frey F, Nappi A
J Parasitol
. 2009 Apr;
95(5):1134-41.
PMID: 19388790
In larvae of Drosophila paramelanica, eggs and larvae of the endoparasitic wasp Leptopilina heterotoma succumb to an effective host reaction that does not involve blood cell-mediated melanotic encapsulation, a response...

Nappi A, Christensen B
Insect Biochem Mol Biol
. 2005 Apr;
35(5):443-59.
PMID: 15804578
Insects transmit the causative agents for such debilitating diseases as malaria, lymphatic filariases, sleeping sickness, Chagas' disease, leishmaniasis, river blindness, Dengue, and yellow fever. The persistence of these diseases provides...

Nappi A, Frey F, Carton Y
J Insect Physiol
. 2005 Mar;
51(2):197-205.
PMID: 15749104
Avirulent strains of the endoparasitoid Leptopilina boulardi succumb to a blood cell-mediated melanotic encapsulation response in host larvae of Drosophila melanogaster. Virulent wasp strains effectively abrogate the cellular response with...

Nappi A, Vass E, Malagoli D, Carton Y
J Parasitol
. 2004 Nov;
90(5):1139-49.
PMID: 15562616
Immune-suppressive factors (ISFs) introduced into larvae of Drosophila melanogaster during infection by virulent endoparasitic wasps effectively block the innate immune response mediated by blood cells (hemocytes) but have little influence...

Carton Y, Nappi A, Poirie M
Dev Comp Immunol
. 2004 Aug;
29(1):9-32.
PMID: 15325520
This review summarizes and compares available data on genetic and molecular aspects of resistance in four well-described invertebrate host-parasite systems: snail-schistosome, mosquito-malaria, mosquito-filarial worm, and Drosophila-wasp associations. It underlies that...

Carton Y, Nappi A
Immunogenetics
. 2001 Feb;
52(3-4):157-64.
PMID: 11220617
Host-parasite relationships represent integrating adaptations of considerable complexity involving the host's immune capacity to both recognize and destroy the parasite, and the latter's ability to successfully invade the host and...

Vass E, Nappi A
J Parasitol
. 2001 Feb;
86(6):1259-70.
PMID: 11191902
The Drosophila-parasitic wasp (parasitoid) associations involve integrating adaptations of considerable complexity. This review focuses on some of the factors that influence these interactions including host immunity, nutrition and hormonal changes,...

Nappi A, Vass E
J Biol Chem
. 2001 Jan;
276(14):11214-22.
PMID: 11136730
The effects of nitric oxide (NO) on both tyrosinase/O(2)- and horseradish peroxidase/H(2)O(2)-mediated oxidations of dopamine and its o-dihydric phenol precursor l-dopa were compared with autoxidative processes and quantitatively assessed by...

Nitric Oxide
. 2000 Aug;
4(4):423-30.
PMID: 10944427
The augmented production of nitric oxide (NO) was observed during the hemocyte-mediated melanotic encapsulation responses of Drosophila melanogaster and D. teissieri. When introduced into the hemocoel of D. melanogaster larvae,...
