Encapsulation and Melanization Are Not Correlated to Successful Immune Defense Against Parasitoid Wasps in <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> by Lilla B. Magyar, István Andó, Gyöngyi Cinege

“…Parasitization assays were used to analyze fly and wasp eclosion success. Active encapsulation and melanization reactions against <i>Leptopilina boulardi</i> were observed in the BL5905 and the BL6326 strains, though restricted to the dead supernumerary parasitoids, while fly and wasp eclosion rates were essentially the same in the four examined <i>D. melanogaster</i> strains. …”
