Genetic variation in Drosophila melanogaster pathogen susceptibility.

Parasitology - 1 Jun 2006

Tinsley M C, Blanford S, Jiggins F M

Abstract excerpt

Genetic variation in susceptibility to pathogens is a central concern both to evolutionary and medical biologists, and for the implementation of biological control programmes. We have investigated the extent of such variation in Drosophila melanogaster, a major model organism for immunological research. We found that within populations, different Drosophila genotypes show wide-ranging variation in their ability...
