DIET IMPACTS THE EFFECTS OF THERMAL STRESS ON INFECTION OUTCOMES

Biswajit Shit, Selah Makinishi, Tanmay Singh, Imroze Khan

This study shows that diet and temperature interact to affect infection outcomes in Drosophila, with low-carbohydrate diets improving survival but losing this benefit in mated flies under thermal stress.

Evolutionary history with chronic malnutrition enhances pathogen susceptibility at older ages

Saubhik Sarkar, Biswajit Shit, Joy Bose…·Imroze Khan

The study shows that chronic juvenile malnutrition in Drosophila leads to improved early-life pathogen tolerance but increased late-life infection susceptibility.
