DESCRIPTION:Special seminar by Adler Dillman\, Ph.D.\, Center for Infectiou
 s Disease and Vector Research\, University of California Riverside\n\nEnto
 mopathogenic nematodes are lethal parasites of insects. The free-living\, 
 developmentally arrested infective juvenile (IJ) stage infects hosts. IJs 
 release insect-pathogenic bacteria along with an arsenal of nematode prote
 ins into hosts. Dillman has shown that the mixture of proteins released by
  activated IJs is toxic at low doses to a variety of hosts. He has also id
 entified several fatty acid- and retinol-binding proteins (FARs) released 
 by activated IJs. Dillman will demonstrate that these FAR proteins are pot
 ent modulators of immunity\, decreasing host resistance to bacterial infec
 tion. His data suggest that activated steinernematid IJs release a complex
  mixture of proteins that modulate host immunity and contribute to host de
 ath.\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\n\nAdler Dillman has been working with parasitic
  nematodes since he was an undergraduate. He studied behavioral ecology\, 
 genetics\, and genomics as a graduate student at Caltech. He studied innat
 e immunity as a postdoc at Stanford. He was awarded the Ferguson prize for
  the best thesis in biology at Caltech\, was a Howard Hughes Postdoctoral 
 Fellow of the Life Sciences Research Foundation and has received awards fr
 om the Society of Nematologists and the National Institutes of Health.\n\n
 Everyone is welcome to attend.\n
