Individuals expressing DENV\NS3Fl.UAS.Tag:FLAG under the control of Scer\GAL4Cg.PA are more susceptible (i.e. mortality) to septic injury with the pathogenic bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, but not with non-pathogenic bacteria Escherichia coli, Enterobacter aerogenes and Micrococcus luteus, as compared to controls.
Expression of DENV\NS3Fl.UAS.Tag:FLAG under the control of either Scer\GAL4Act.PU or Scer\GAL4Cg.PA does not result in any obvious phenotype, and adults show normal lifespan and resistance to cold stress.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4en.PU does not affect wing development.
