The expression of Traf-likedsRNA.UAS.cLa driven by Scer\GAL4NP0001, but not by Scer\GAL4ppl.PU, induces significantly higher mortality to Ecc15 infection, as compared to controls; Scer\GAL4NP0001-driven expression also abolishes the Ecc15 infection-induced lipid droplet autophagy (dual LS2- and Atg8-positive puncta) in the adult midgut observed in controls.
