SOAT1 and bacterial infectious disease: The upregulation of Imd pathway member CASPL1 in larvae and 1-day-old adults is consistent with this pathway’s role in combating Gram (−) bacterial infections, however the cause for Jak/Stat pathway involvement in the larval response alone is unknown, though it may have to do with its function in mosquito development [82], as this pathway is involved in Drosophila development [149].
