UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of the SARS-CoV-2\ORF7a coding sequence.
The expression of SARS-CoV-2\ORF7aUAS.cZa under the control of Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL leads to larvae with fewer tracheal branches.
Adults expressing SARS-CoV-2\ORF7aUAS.cZa under the control of Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL display decreased climbing activity and held-up wings; indirect flight muscles present fewer mitochondria.
