Like all invertebrates, flies such as Drosophila lack an adaptive immune system and depend on their innate immune system to protect them against pathogenic microorganisms and parasites. In recent years, it appears that the nervous systems of eucaryotes not only control animal behavior but also cooperate and synergize very strongly with the animals’ immune systems to detect and fight potential pathogenic threats, and allow them to adapt their behavior to the presence of microorganisms and parasites that coexist with them. This review puts into perspective the latest progress made using the Drosophila model system, in this field of research, which remains in its infancy.

Drosophila Model

The interactions of yeasts growing in decaying cactus tissue with and without 2-propanol were studied with respect to the costs and benefits provided to three cactophilic Drosophila species (D. mojavensis, D. arizonensis and D. buzzatit). Two common cactus yeasts, Candida sonorensis and Cryptococcus cereanus, which can tolerate and metabolize 2-propanol, provide benefits to the three Drosophila species in the presence of the alcohol, as compared with another common cactus yeast, Pichia cactophila, which has less tolerance and cannot metabolize 2-propanol.
