<i>Wolbachia</i> confers sex-specific resistance and tolerance to enteric but not systemic bacterial infection in <i>Drosophila</i>

2016-04-02

Abstract excerpt

Wolbachia -mediatedprotection against viral infection has been extensively demonstrated in Drosophila and in mosquitoes that are artificially inoculated with D. melanogaster Wolbachia (wMel), but to date no evidence for Wolbachia -mediated antibacterial protection has been demonstrated in Drosophila. Here we show that D. melanogaster carrying wMel shows reduced mortality during enteric – but not systemic - in...
