About Francis M Jiggins

Francis M Jiggins, With an exceptional h-index of 65 and a recent h-index of 43 (since 2020), a distinguished researcher at University of Cambridge, specializes in the field of Evolutionary Genetics of Hosts and Parasites.

His recent articles reflect a diverse array of research interests and contributions to the field:

Recognition of nonself is necessary to activate Drosophila’s immune response against an insect parasite

Risks of releasing imperfect Wolbachia strains for arbovirus control

The evolution of constitutively active humoral immune defenses in Drosophila populations under high parasite pressure

Wolbachia protects Drosophila melanogaster against two naturally occurring and virulent viral pathogens

Hunting Drosophila viruses from wild populations: A novel isolation approach and characterisation of viruses

Research data supporting" Hunting Drosophila viruses from wild populations: a novel isolation approach and characterization of viruses"

Developing Wolbachia-based disease interventions for an extreme environment

Natural selection has driven the recurrent loss of an immunity gene that protects Drosophila against a major natural parasite
