Hallmarks of crustacean immune hemocytes at single-cell resolution

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
In invertebrates, hemocytes are the key factors in innate immunity. However, the types of invertebrate immune hemocytes are unclassified due to the limitation of morphological classification.

The Role of Mosquito Hemocytes in Viral Infections

Viruses, 2022
Insect hemocytes are the only immune cells that can mount a humoral and cellular immune response. Despite the critical involvement of hemocytes in immune responses against bacteria, fungi, and parasites in mosquitoes, our understanding of their antiviral

Crayfish hemocytes develop along the granular cell lineage

Scientific Reports, 2021
Despite the central role of hemocytes in crustacean immunity, the process of hemocyte differentiation and maturation remains unclear. In some decapods, it has been proposed that the two main types of hemocytes, granular cells (GCs) and semigranular cells

Distinct Roles of Hemocytes at Different Stages of Infection by Dengue and Zika Viruses in Aedes aegypti Mosquitoes

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are vectors for arboviruses of medical importance such as dengue (DENV) and Zika (ZIKV) viruses. Different innate immune pathways contribute to the control of arboviruses in the mosquito vector including RNA interference, Toll ...

Cytotoxicity of Vibrio parahaemolyticus AHPND toxin on shrimp hemocytes, a newly identified target tissue, involves binding of toxin to aminopeptidase N1 receptor.

PLoS Pathogens, 2021
Acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) caused by PirABVP-producing strain of Vibrio parahaemolyticus, VPAHPND, has seriously impacted the shrimp production.

Extracellular traps, an ancient defense mechanism described in hemocytes of the tick Rhipicephalus microplus [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors
Background NETosis is a conserved process that has been maintained throughout evolution in various species. However, in the cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus, a process similar to NETosis, known as ETosis, has not been previously described.

Characterization of Anopheles gambiae immune cells through genetic and functional immunophenotyping [PDF]

Nature Communications
Mosquito immune cells, or hemocytes, are integral components of the innate immune responses that define vector competence. To date, the characterization and functional classification of hemocytes has been hindered by the limited availability of genetic ...

Beyond Cellular Immunity: On the Biological Significance of Insect Hemocytes

Cells, 2023
Insect immunity is assorted into humoral and cellular immune reactions. Humoral reactions involve the regulated production of anti-microbial peptides, which directly kill microbial invaders at the membrane and intracellular levels.

Rapid regulation of hemocyte homeostasis in crayfish and its manipulation by viral infection

Fish and Shellfish Immunology Reports, 2021
In crustaceans, the number of circulating hemocytes changes rapidly in response to pathogen infection and injury, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear.
