Parental effects of pathogenic bacterial infections in <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> : trans-generational immune priming without apparent costs

2024-02-09

Abstract excerpt

Parental experience with pathogens and parasites can shape offspring susceptibility to infections, a phenomenon commonly referred to as trans-generational immune priming (TgIP) in insects. TgIP can influence the evolution of both host immune traits and pathogen virulence. The host ecology and its environmental pathogen load can in turn shape the evolution of TgIP. Therefore, the functional limits of TgIP and the c...
