Correlated responses to experimental evolution of increased post-infection survival in Drosophila melanogaster: Life-history trade-offs and reaction to novel stressors

A. Singh, A. Basu, T. Hegde, B. Shit, N. Bansal, A. Chauhan, N. G. Prasad

This study shows that Drosophila melanogaster can rapidly evolve increased resistance to E. faecalis infection without life-history costs or abiotic stress resistance.

Effect of larval diet on adult immune function is contingent upon selection history and host sex in Drosophila melanogaster

A. Singh, A. K. Basu, N. Bansal, B. Shit, T. Hegde, N. G. Prasad

This study shows that Drosophila melanogaster adapted to bacterial infections maintain better immune function under poor diets, with sex-dependent effects.

Recurrent evolution of cross-resistance in response to selection for improved post-infection survival in Drosophila melanogaster

A. Singh, A. Basu, B. Shit, T. Hegde, N. Bansal, N. G. Prasad

This study shows that selecting Drosophila melanogaster for resistance to one bacterial pathogen leads to generalized cross-resistance against other pathogens.

Zoonotic tuberculosis in India: looking beyond Mycobacterium bovis

S. C. Duffy, S. Srinivasan, M. A. Schilling, T. Stuber, S. N. Danchuk, J. S. Michael, M. Venkatesan, N. Bansal, S. Maan, N. Jindal, D. Chaudhary, P. Dandapat, R. Katani, S. Chothe, M. Veerasami, , M. A. Behr

This study investigates zoonotic tuberculosis in India by analyzing human and cattle Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex isolates, finding no M. bovis in humans and highlighting the presence of M. orygis and M. tuberculosis in both species.

Mating enhances immune function of Drosophila melanogaster populations against bacterial pathogens

N. Bansal, B. Shit, Aparajita, T. Hegde, R. Dutta, N. G. Prasad

This study finds that mating in Drosophila melanogaster enhances population survival against bacterial infections, with no sexual dimorphism in immune response.
