Macronutrients modulate resistance to infection and immunity in Drosophila

2018-12-17

Abstract excerpt

Immunity and nutrition are two essential modulators of individual fitness However, while the implications of immune function and nutrition on an individual s lifespan and reproduction are known, the interplay between feeding behaviour, infection, and immune function, remains poorly understood. In this study, we used the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, to investigate how infection through septic injury modulate...
