Sexual activity increases resistance against Pseudomonas entomophila in male Drosophila melanogaster
BACKGROUND: Maintenance and deployment cost of immunity is high, therefore, it is expected to trade-off with other high cost traits like sexual activity. Previous studies with Drosophila melanogaster show that male’s ability to clear bacteria decreases with increase in sexual activity. We subjected...
