In the second 24 hour period following infection, where infection status had a strong absolute effect on fecundity, this correlation becomes marginally significant ( r = −0.324, p = 0.050).
In the second 24 hour period following infection, where infection status had a strong absolute effect on fecundity, this correlation becomes marginally significant ( r = −0.324, p = 0.050).
Looking at genetic correlations, we find a negative trend relating mean bacterial load sustained and mean total fecundity in CO 2 anesthetized flies ( r = −0.287, p = 0.090) at a rearing and infection temperature of 18°C.
