Drosophila melanogaster as a model system for studying the effects of porcine rotavirus on intestinal immunity by Xiao Chun Wang, Xiao Chun Wang, Shuang Deng, Liyun Yu, Rongan Cao, Rongan Cao, Liangyu Li

“…When these pathogens are introduced into the intestinal environment, a cascade of immune responses is triggered within the intestinal tissue, aimed at preserving the integrity of the intestinal barrier and ensuring the proper physiological functions of the gut. Porcine rotavirus (PoRV) is a key pathogen that causes diarrhea in pigs, and PoRV infection can significantly reduce piglet survival rates.MethodsIn this study, wild-type flies were orally administered PoRV to establish an effective intestinal damage animal model, and a detailed investigation of the antiviral immune defense mechanism in the fly intestine was performed.Results and DiscussionOur study revealed that PoRV infection caused a reduction in the survival rate of flies and an increase in intestinal epithelial cell death. …”
