EXCRETED SECRETED PRODUCTS FROM THE PARASITIC NEMATODE STEINERNEMA CARPOCAPSAE MANIPULATE THE DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER IMMUNE RESPONSE

Excreted secreted products from the parasitic nematode Steinernema carpocapsae manipulate the Drosophila melanogaster immune response

Abstract Steinernema carpocapsae is an entomopathogenic nematode (EPN) that rapidly infects and kills a wide range of insect hosts and has been linked to host immunosuppression during the initial stages of infection.The lethal nature of S.carpocapsae infections has previously been credited to its symbiotic bacteria; however, it has become evident t

Domain walls in Horndeski gravity

SOAP The Horndeski gravity yields domain wall solutions that connect asymmetric vacua for a certain region of parameters.In the thin wall limit there exist BPS domain walls that connect stable vacua.That is, the false vacua in this theory follows the same effect obtained in supergravity vacua, i.e., it does not decay according to Coleman-de Luccia
