Female and male genetic contributions to post-mating immune defence in female Drosophila melanogaster.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Dec 2010

Short Sarah M, Lazzaro Brian P

Abstract excerpt

Post-mating reduction in immune defence is common in female insects, and a trade-off between mating and immunity could affect the evolution of immunity. In this work, we tested the capacity of virgin and mated female Drosophila melanogaster to defend against infection by four bacterial pathogens. We found that female D. melanogaster suffer post-mating immunosuppression in a pathogen-dependent manner. The effect...
