The <strong>Drosophila</strong> immune system: conclusions<br />
• <strong>Drosophila</strong> is now one of the best-characterized host defense systems<br />
among the metazoans.<br />
• <strong>Drosophila</strong> has multiple defense “modules” that can be deployed in a<br />
coordinated response against distinct pathogens => activation of the<br />
appropriate response<br />
• There are similarities between <strong>Drosophila</strong> host defense and essential<br />
facets of vertebrate innate immunity (signalling pathways)<br />
Future studies should investigate the links between <strong>Drosophila</strong><br />
immune defense and the ecology of this insect
