The effects of sleep disruption, sex, and mating status on susceptibility to fungal ( <i>Metarhizium anisopliae</i> ) infections in <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i>

2025-07-22

Abstract excerpt

Important biological functions, including host defense, are linked to circadian rhythm and sleep. Studies have also indicated that the sex of the host can alter disease processes. In this study, we used a genetic approach in Drosophila to determine how sleep interacts with sex to influence the outcomes of infection with Metarhizium anisopliae strain Ma549. We found that as in mammals, Drosophila slept more afte...
