In honour of #InsectWeek2024, read all about how @nicholeLlink et al. use Drosophila melanogaster as a developing ‘test tube’ to determine how Zika viral proteins affect host cells.

It is fantastic to have this collaborative effort out. Couldn't be possible without the Yamamoto and @shah_ps groups. We found tissue specific phenotypes with expression of different Zika virus proteins.

Check out this new article from @nicholeLlink, Shinya Yamamoto & team that describes their #Drosophila toolkit to explore the effect of #Zika virus proteins on the developing nervous system

The next step is to use protein interaction data with these phenotypic resources to identify pathways hijacked by Zika virus to cause disease.
