The evolution of constitutively active humoral immune defenses in Drosophila populations under high parasite pressure

S. O. Zhou, R. Arunkumar, S. D. Ding, A. B. Leitao, F. M. Jiggins

This study shows that Drosophila populations under high parasite pressure evolved constitutive humoral immunity and enhanced induced immune responses, with Upd3 and JAK/STAT signaling playing key roles.

Recurrent loss of an immunity gene that protects Drosophila against a major natural parasite

R. Arunkumar, S. O. Zhou, J. P. Day, S. Bakare, S. Pitton, C.-Y. Hsing, S. O Boyle, J. Pascual-Gil, B. Clark, R. J. Chandler, A. B. Leitao, F. M. Jiggins

The paper identifies recurrent loss-of-function mutations in the Drosophila immunity gene Lectin-24A, showing natural selection favors these mutations in some populations due to a pleiotropic cost of expression.
