Experimental evolution for improved postinfection survival selects for increased disease resistance in Drosophila melanogaster
Disease resistance (defined as the host capacity to limit systemic infection intensity) and
disease tolerance (defined as the host capacity to limit infection-induced damage) are 2 …

Correlated responses to experimental evolution of increased post-infection survival in Drosophila melanogaster: Life-history trade-offs and reaction to novel stressors
Evolution of increased immune defence is often limited by costs: correlated changes in other
traits (viz. life-history traits) that otherwise reduce the fitness of the host organisms …
