💨 Abstract

A study by the University of Exeter on fruit flies revealed that certain species are highly susceptible to a variety of viruses. The findings showed a positive correlation in susceptibility to viruses in general, indicating that fly species resistant to one virus were also generally resistant to others, including different types of virus. The study aims to understand how pathogens shift to new host species and is applicable to other animals, including humans.
