Abstract

Objective To update the application of Caenorhabditis elegans as a model host of infection in anti-infection research field, and provide references for the further application of C. elegans in the research field. Methods The related literatures at home and abroad in recent years were analyzed, integrated and concluded. Results C. elegans had been widely used to study pathogenesis of microorganisms and to screen anti-infective agents, since the nemades had short life cycle and cost low. Conclusion C. elegans would be promising to be further more widely used to study pathogenesis and anti-infective agents.
- Caenorhabditis elegans,
- pathogenic microorganisms,
- pathogenesis,
- anti-infective agents
