Time-resolved transcriptomics of haemocyte discrimination between challenges by nematodes and inert material in the oriental armyworm Mythimna separata [PDF]
Frontiers in ImmunologyIntroductionInsects defend against large metazoan parasites such as nematodes through haemocyte-mediated encapsulation, but how haemocytes respond to living parasites remains poorly understood.

Early Post-Eclosion Physiological Remodelling in Tenebrio molitor: Body Condition, Cuticle Tanning and Immune Maturation During the First Week of Adult Life [PDF]
InsectsEarly adult life represents a critical developmental window during which insects undergo profound physiological reorganization. Despite the economic importance of the yellow mealworm, Tenebrio molitor L., this transition remains poorly characterized ...

Effect of fasting and two different photoperiods on immune parameters in adult male and female house crickets (Acheta domesticus) [PDF]
Comparative Immunology ReportsInsects are often reared as a potential source of protein, both for human and animal consumption. However, food safety is a main concern and one common way of reducing the microbial load in insects is fasting them for 24–48 h.
