Infection avoidance behaviour: female fruit flies adjust foraging effort in response to internal and external cues of viral infection

2016-02-15

Abstract excerpt

Infection avoidance behaviours are the first line of defence against pathogenic encounters. Behavioural plasticity in response to internal or external cues can therefore generate potentially significant heterogeneity in infection. We tested whether Drosophila melanogaster exhibits infection avoidance behaviour during foraging, and whether this behaviour is modified by prior exposure to Drosophila C Virus (DCV) an...
