Thorax Injury Lowers Resistance to Infection in Drosophila melanogaster

The route of infection can profoundly affect both the progression and outcome of disease. We investigated differences in Drosophila melanogaster defense against infection after bacterial inoculation into two sites—the abdomen and the thorax. Thorax inoculation results in increased bacterial prolifer...
