Sigma Virus (DMelSV) Incidence in Lines of Drosophila melanogaster Selected for Survival following Infection with Bacillus cereus

Figure 2

Graph (means ± 2 standard errors) of proportion uninfected progeny (untransformed data) for each selection regime × day × sex combination. Selective regimes included the following: CI (response to wounding), CN (the unperturbed control), and S (resistance to B. cereus infected). The significant interaction of day × sex is obvious, with male progeny having higher proportion surviving on the second day of eclosion compared to females across treatments. Again, the lines selected for resistance to B. cereus tended to have the highest proportion of uninfected animals, and this trend was notably driven by the male progeny eclosing on the second day of collection.
