Teratogenic Evaluation of Metronidazole and Ornidazole Using Drosophila melanogaster as an Experimental Model

BACKGROUND: Drosophila and vertebrates show similarities that suggest that the mechanisms involved in the induction of developmental defects may be similar in both. Therefore, Drosophila has been proposed as a useful, rapid, and economical model in the preliminary screening for teratology studies. T...
