Single-cell transcriptome maps of myeloid blood cell lineages in Drosophila
Nature Communications, 2020 How the Drosophila lymph gland hemocytes develop and are regulated at a single-cell level is unclear. Here, the authors use single-cell RNA sequencing to show heterogeneity of developing hemocytes in the lymph gland and how they react to wasp infestation,

Existence of prophenoloxidase in wing discs: a source of plasma prophenoloxidase in the silkworm, Bombyx mori. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 In insects, hemocytes are considered as the only source of plasma prophenoloxidase (PPO). PPO also exists in the hemocytes of the hematopoietic organ that is connected to the wing disc of Bombyx mori.

Hemocytes in Myriapoda (Arthropoda): a review [PDF]
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2009 Hemocyte types described in the different subtaxa of Myriapoda are presented and characterised. They comprise (1) prohemocytes, (2) plasmatocytes and (3) two different forms of granular hemocytes; these three have been found in all taxa investigated ...

Ciencias Marinas, 2002 The immune response in mollusks has an important role as a defense against bacteriae, fungi, protozoa and metazoans. The hemocytes are responsible for generating different kinds of innate responses such as: phagocytosis, encapsulation and production of ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019 Significance The mosquito immune system is an integral determinant of vector competence. Immune cells, known as hemocytes, have been implicated in limiting malaria parasite survival, yet the lack of genetic tools has limited their study.

CYTOCHEMICAL FEATURES OF SHRIMP HEMOCYTES
The Biological Bulletin, 1987 Morphological studies suggest that there are several types of decapod hemocytes; however, distinguishing criteria based on conventional staining techniques are often subtle or ambiguous. Cytochemical features of ridgeback prawn (Penaeidae: Sicyonia ingentis) hemocytes were studied using specific stains for lysosomes, cytoplasmic contents, and granule ...

Journal of Innate Immunity, 2023 Introduction: Hematophagous arthropods can acquire and transmit several pathogens of medical importance. In ticks, the innate immune system is crucial in the outcome between vector-pathogen interaction and overall vector competence. However, the specific

Zinc and Manduca sexta hemocyte functions [PDF]
Journal of Insect Science, 2002 Two metalloproteases have recently been linked to the immune response in Lepidoptera. In addition, zinc is highly important in many mammalian immune-related functions. Because of these, we investigated the effect of zinc and two zinc-protease inhibitors on Manduca sexta hemocyte behavior in vitro.
