Galbut virus alters pathogen susceptibility of some flies. Survival of galbut virus-infected and uninfected flies following (A) intrathoracic injection with 100 TCID₅₀ units of Drosophila C virus (DCV), (B) ingestion of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, (C) injection of ~100 CFU of P. aeruginosa, (D) injection with ~100 CFU of Staphylococcus aureus, and (E) injection with ~500 Candida albicans cells. (F–H) Survival of flies following control inoculations. Flies were either microinjected with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and stored at 25 °C (F) or 30 °C (G) or ingested sucrose (H). Galbut virus-infected flies are depicted in orange, and uninfected flies are in blue. ns, not significant; *** p < 0.001. Statistical tests described in Materials and Methods.
