The Toll-Dorsal Pathway Is Required for Resistance to Viral Oral Infection in

English version České info

Pathogenic microbes can enter their hosts through different routes. This can have a strong impact on which host defensive mechanisms are elicited and in disease outcome. We used the model organism Drosophila melanogaster to understand how resistance to viruses differs between infection by direct virus entry into the body cavity and infection through feeding on food with the virus. We show that the Toll pathway is required to resist oral infection with different RNA viruses. On the other hand this pathway does not influence the outcome of viral infection performed by injection. Together our results show that the Toll pathway has a route-specific general antiviral effect. Our work expands the role of this classical innate immunity pathway and contributes to a better understanding of viral oral infection resistance in insects. This is particularly relevant because insect vectors of emerging human viral diseases, like dengue, are infected through feeding on contaminated hosts.
