Sex Dimorphism in Expression of Immune Response Genes in Drosophila

2024-07-27

Abstract excerpt

Sex dimorphism in immunity is commonly observed in a wide variety of taxa and is thought to arise from fundamental life history differences between females and males. In Drosophila melanogaster , infection with different pathogens typically results in different modes of immune sex dimorphism, with male-or female-bias, likely due to specific disease-causing mechanisms of pathogens and host-pathogen interactions. S...
