Aedes aegypti females are natural vectors of important arboviruses including Dengue, Zika and yellow fever. Mosquitoes activate innate immune response signaling pathways upon infection, which target the pathogens and limit their propagation. Despite the beneficial effects of immune activation for insect vectors, there are phenotypic costs that ultimately affect their fitness. However, the underlying mechanisms that mediate these fitness costs remain poorly understood. Given the high energy required to mount a proper immune response, we hypothesized that systemic activation of innate immunity would impair flight muscle mitochondrial function, compromising tissue energy demand and flight activity. Here, we investigated the dynamic effects of activation of innate immunity by intra-thoracic zymosan injection on A. aegypti flight muscle mitochondrial metabolism. Zymosan injection significantly increased defensin expression in fat bodies in a time-dependent manner and ultimately affecting induced flight activity. Although oxidant levels in flight muscle were hardly altered, ATP-linked and maximal mitochondrial oxygen consumption rates were significantly reduced at 24h upon zymosan injection. These effects were parallel to significant and specific reductions in complex I activity upon zymosan treatment. Finally, the magnitude of defensin up-regulation negatively correlated with maximal, ATP-linked, and complex I respiratory rates in flight muscles. Despite strong reductions were observed in proline and reserve capacity respiratory rates 24h upon zymosan injection, this effect was not correlated to the magnitude of innate immune response activation. Collectively, we demonstrate that activation of innate immunity in fat body strongly associates to reduced flight muscle complex I activity with direct consequences to mitochondrial physiology and dispersal. Remarkably, our results indicate that a trade-off between dispersal and immunity exists in an insect vector, underscoring the potential consequences of disrupted flight muscle mitochondrial energy metabolism to arbovirus transmission.
