| Mar 9, 2023 at 2:39 | comment | added | bandybabboon | That's one of the weirdest science pubs I've ever seen, starting with reference to a 1400 year old hadith, and it's difficult to read because it's not very logical. Let's not forget that the same hadiths say that the moon and heavens followed at the same time. In reality, the moon came 9 billion years after the heavens, so a book that is wrong by 9 billion years in scientific terms shouldn't be cited as modern science facts. | |

Any question here should be about a biological problem and comprehensible on its own. The poster perpetuates the (imho) nonsense of the author by talking about fly antibodies. INSECTS DO NOT PRODUCE ANTIBODIES. | |

Microbes also can alter social communication in Drosophila. Whether or not flies care or do anything about it is not yet abundantly clear, but there is a clear relation between microbes and Drosophila emerging in recent years. So the question is really interesting; the paper liked by OP is the exact opposite of what is interesting in the field! | |

Seems much more likely that the presence of microbes on flies is purely accidental: they just stick to the fly's feet & mouthparts when the fly feeds. | |
