Antibacterial activity of lysozyme in the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria (Orthoptera: Acrididae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2013
The ability of biocontrol agents to overcome the immune defense of pests is a crucial issue. This is the first study of lysozyme activity as an inducible humoral component of the defense of Schistocerca gregaria, which depends on the recognition of the ...

Life‐Stage–Specific Hematological Profiles in Yellow Mealworm Beetles (Tenebrio molitor): Reference Intervals and Hemocyte Characterization

open access: yesVeterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The edible insect industry, driven by the nutritional and environmental benefits of mealworms, faces increasing challenges from pathogens affecting Tenebrio molitor farming systems. Hemocyte‐based health assessments could provide valuable diagnostic insights, yet standardized hemolymph processing protocols and hematological ...

The significance of the amoebocyte-producing organ in Biomphalaria glabrata

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2012
In molluscs, internal defence against microorganisms is performed by a single cell type, i.e., the haemocyte or amoebocyte. The origin of these cells in Biomphalaria glabrata was initially thought to be localised within the vasculo-connective tissue ...

Immunonutritional Effects of Nucleotides and Olive Bioactive Extracts on Growth Performance and Survival of Pacific White Shrimp Upon Vibrio parahaemolyticus (AHPND) Challenge

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The sustainable advancement of aquaculture can be supported using functional feed ingredients with immunomodulatory activity. These studies evaluated the immunonutritional effects of dietary nucleotides (NU) and an olive bioactive extract (OE) in Pacific white shrimp (PWS), Penaeus vannamei. A 56‑day growth trial (n = 1000 PWS; PL42‐43; 1.23 ±

The influence of different diets on haemocytes of adult worker honey bees, Apis mellifera

open access: yes, 2003
The influence of different diets on the haemolymph of adult honeybee workers was examined. The laboratory experiments took place in early summer. There were three experimental groups fed with one of the following diets: pollen with sugar, pollen ...

Bioactive peptides in cancer and inflammation: Mechanisms, model systems and clinical translation

open access: yesClinical and Translational Discovery, Volume 6, Issue 5, October 2026.
Bioactive peptides (BAPs) derived from host, marine, insect, plant and synthetic sources share cationic, amphipathic structures adopting α‐helical, β‐sheet or cyclic conformations. These features underlie anti‐cancer effects, including membrane disruption, apoptosis and cell‐cycle arrest, anti‐metastatic activity, reduced invasion and migration, and ...

Influence of patient factors on target plasma volume treated attainment rate during double filtration plasmapheresis in patients with hypertriglyceridemic acute pancreatitis

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, Volume 30, Issue 5, Page 690-697, October 2026.
Abstract Introduction This study aims to investigate patient factors affecting the rate of plasma volume target attained in hypertriglyceridemic pancreatitis (HTG‐AP) patients undergoing double filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP). Methods A retrospective analysis of 82 HTG‐AP‐interpreted patients from January 2019 to April 2024 compared target plasma ...

Fluorimetric determination of hydrogen peroxide production by the haemocytes of the wax moth Galleria mellonella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2011
The aim of this study was to investigate whether haemocytes of Galleria mellonella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) larvae produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) like human blood phagocytes.

Malaria mosquito antimicrobial defence requires immunity and detoxification gene regulation by Lola

open access: yesInsect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 576-593, October 2026.
Malaria mosquito antimicrobial defence requires upregulation of lola. Attenuation of lola in the midgut of Anopheles albimanus mosquitoes inhibits the upregulation of immunity genes induced by challenge. Putative target genes of the Lola transcription factor were revealed by lola attenuation, including Cecropin‐C, Draper, PPAF2, Clip‐domain serine ...

BgTLR immunolocalization in haemocytes and Bge cells.

open access: yes, 2016
Haemocytes (A-C) and Bge cells (D-E) were labelled with DAPI and anti-BgTLR primary antibody. Control haemocyte (C) and Bge (E) samples were stained with DAPI but the primary antibody step omitted. Scale bars represent 20 μM.
