Multisensory pathogen detection drives rapid escape and shapes host–microbe interactions in <i>Drosophila</i> larvae

2025-12-19

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Larvae of many insects develop immersed in decomposing substrates densely populated with microbes, yet how they detect and respond to pathogenic threats during early life remains poorly understood. Here, we show that Drosophila melanogaster larvae exhibit a previously unrecognized rapid escape behavior triggered by food contaminated with metabolically active Erwinia carotovora carotovora 15 (...
