Genetic variation in disease resistance in Drosophila spp. is mitigated in Drosophila sechellia by specialization to a toxic host

We found that Drosophila species vary in their susceptibility to the broad-spectrum entomopathogen, Metarhizium anisopliae (strain Ma549). Generalist species were generally more resistant than dietary specialists, with the cactophilic Drosophila buzzatii and Drosophila sechellia, a specialist of the...
