Extensive Differences in Antifungal Immune Response in Two Drosophila Species Revealed by Comparative Transcriptome Analysis

Figure 1

Survival curves of fungal-infected and naïve D. virilis and D. melanogaster. Twenty to twenty-five flies 1 day after eclosion were reared at 25°C on the culture medium covered by a Penicillium species (infected) or without fungus (naïve). The red lines with filled and open triangle data points indicate fungus-infected and naïve D. virilis, respectively, whereas the blue lines with filled and open circle data points indicate fungus-infected and naïve D. melanogaster, respectively.
