Malpighamoeba infection compromises fluid secretion and P-glycoprotein detoxification in Malpighian tubules

Malpighian tubules, analogous to vertebrate nephrons, play a key role in insect osmoregulation and detoxification. Tubules can become infected with a protozoan, Malpighamoeba, which damages their epithelial cells, potentially compromising their function. Here we used a modified Ramsay assay to quant...
