Figure 5.

Relative bacterial load in flies 28 hr after E. faecalis systemic infection. Flies were infected with the bacterial pathogen via septic pinprick and total bacterial load was measured after 28 hr. The values plotted are the mean residuals (± SE) from a model that accounted for sources of experimental error. Higher values correspond to a higher bacterial load and lower immune resistance. The color represents population of origin: Zimbabwe (orange); Beijing, China (red); the Netherlands (green); Ithaca, New York (blue); Tasmania (purple).
