Infection-induced interaction between the mosquito circulatory and immune systems.
PLoS Pathogens, 2012 Insects counter infection with innate immune responses that rely on cells called hemocytes. Hemocytes exist in association with the insect's open circulatory system and this mode of existence has likely influenced the organization and control of anti ...

Steroid Hormone Signaling Is Essential to Regulate Innate Immune Cells and Fight Bacterial Infection in Drosophila [PDF]
, 2013 Coupling immunity and development is essential to ensure survival despite changing internal conditions in the organism. Drosophila metamorphosis represents a striking example of drastic and systemic physiological changes that need to be integrated with ...

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.Amblyomma sculptum showed a plasmatocyte‐dominant haemocyte profile. Beauveria bassiana increased plasmatocytes and reduced granulocytes, whereas Metarhizium robertsii did not cause significant changes. Amblyomma americanum showed a granulocyte‐dominant haemocyte profile. Beauveria bassiana reduced total haemocytes and granulocytes. B.

Circulating hemocytes of Mediterranean flour moth, Ephestia kuehniella Zell. (Lep: Pyralidae) and their response to thermal stress [PDF]
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2013 The hemocytes of Ephestia kuehniella Zell. are arranged in five main classes: prohemocytes (PRs), plasmatocytes (PLs), granulocytes (GRs), oenocytoids (OEs) and spherulocytes (SPs). Two other morphotypes of hemocytes namely vermicytes (VEs) and podocytes

Bacterial community profiles and Vibrio parahaemolyticus abundance in individual oysters and their association with estuarine ecology [PDF]
, 2017 Oysters naturally harbor the human gastric pathogen Vibrio parahaemolyticus, but the nature of this association is unknown. Because microbial interactions could influence the accumulation of V. parahaemolyticus in oysters, we investigated the composition

Microplastic Impacts on Seafood: A Global Synthesis of Experimental Findings
Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 591-606, May 2026.ABSTRACT Plastic pollution is a growing global concern, with plastic and microplastic particles now widespread in aquatic environments. Microplastics are frequently ingested by marine organisms, including commercially important seafood species. Ingestion can lead to a range of biological effects, influenced by the size, type and quantity of plastic, as
