Tlr3/Tlrv1 flies infected with Pythium insidiosum show significantly lower survival rates than wild-type. As evidenced by histopathological studies, injected P. insidiosum zoospores germinate rapidly in fly hemolymph to form hyphae that subsequently disseminate and invade the thorax, abdomen and head of the mutants. No histopathological alterations are found in wild-type flies after P. insidiosum infection.
Mutant flies show no significant difference in mortality compared to wild-type flies after infection with either Providencia rettgeri or Providencia burhodogranariea.
Adult females transheterozygous for Tlr3/Tlrv1 display increased sensitivity to infection with various strains of Candida albicans: the survival rate of infected flies is significantly decreased compared to wild-type. Tlr3/Tlrv1 also show significantly higher post-infection fungal load, which unlike in wild-type flies progressively increases with time when infected with a wild-type strain of C. albicans.
The ability of Tlr2/Tlrv1 larvae to encapsulate L.boulardi eggs is significantly reduced compared to that of control larvae.
Level of Drs induction of bacterially challenged Tlr3/Tlrv1 mutants is lower than in wild type. Pattern of response of CecA1 and CecA2 parallels that of Drs. Dpt and Dro remain fully inducible and pattern of expression of AttA and Def in intermediate. Inducibility of all antimicrobial genes by bacterial challenge in imd1/imd1; Tlr3/Tlrv1 double mutants is severely reduced. Septic injury (pricking with a needle under nonsterile conditions) or infection with E.coli does not noticeably affect Tlr3/Tlrv1 survival, infection with A.fumigatus results in death after 2-3 days clearly associated with uncontrolled fungal development. 40% homozygous double mutant flies survive after septic injury but only a few individuals survive 3 days postinfection with E.coli. Infection of Tlr3/Tlrv1 mutants with A.fumigatus causes 8% survival 3 days postinfection, infection with E.coli causes survival rates similar to wild type.

The addition of spz4 or Tlrv1/Tlr3 enhances the susceptibility of RelE20 mutants to E.coli infection, but has no affect on susceptibility to A.fumigatus injection or natural infection by B.bassiana.
