A Drosophila melanogaster model shows that fast growing Metarhizium species are the deadliest despite eliciting a strong immune response

A Drosophila melanogaster model shows that fast growing Metarhizium species are the deadliest despite eliciting a strong immune response

ABSTRACTWe used Drosophila melanogaster to investigate how differences between Metarhizium species in growth rate and mechanisms of pathogenesis influence the outcome of infection. We found that the most rapid germinators and growers in vitro and on fly cuticle were the fastest killers, suggesting t...
