This study shows that past adaptation to systemic infection affects the speed and mechanism of adaptation to oral infection in Drosophila, with sex-specific outcomes and trade-offs.

This study investigates disease tolerance in Drosophila by exposing it to heat-killed Pseudomonas entomophila, finding that mortality and fecundity reduction depend on exposure duration, sex, and bacterial virulence, with microbiota exacerbating effects.
