ADAPTATION AGAINST LONG-TERM PROTEIN DEPRIVATION TRADES OFF WITH IMMUNOCOMPETENCE AND THE ABILITY TO SURVIVE PATHOGENIC INFECTIONS

Saubhik Sarkar, Dipendra Nath Basu, Simran Sethi…·Imroze Khan

This study shows that Drosophila melanogaster selected for increased early-life reproduction under protein limitation show reduced immune resistance and survival after infection, with these effects being sex-specific and mitigated by mating.

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.
