We found substantial variation in resistance to the fly-specific pathogenEntomophthora muscae'Berkeley' (Entomophthoromycota), in 20 lines from theDrosophila melanogasterGenetic Reference Panel (DGRP). Resistance toE. muscaeis positively (r = 0.55) correlated with resistance to the broad host range ascomycete entomopathogenMetarhizium anisopliae(Ma549), indicative of generalist (non-specific) defenses. Most of the lines showing above average resistance to Ma549 showed cross-resistance toE. muscae. However, lines that succumbed quickly to Ma549 exhibited the full range of resistance toE. muscae. This suggests fly populations differ inE. muscae-specific resistance mechanisms as well as generic defences effective against both Ma549 andE. muscae. We looked for trade-offs that could account for inter-line variation, but increases (decreases) in disease resistance toE. muscaeare not consistently associated with increases (decreases) of resistance to oxidative stress, starvation stress and sleep indices. That these pathogens are dynamic agents of selection on hosts is reflected in this genetic variation for resistance in lines derived from wild populations.
