Hemocyte-hemocyte adhesion by granulocytes is associated with cellular immunity in the cricket, Gryllus bimaculatus [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2019
AbstractIn this study, more than 1,000 cricket (Gryllus bimaculatus) hemocytes were classified based on their size and morphology. These hemocytes were classified into six types: granulocytes, plasmatocytes, prohemocytes, spherulocytes, coagulocytes, and oenocytoids.

Ehrlichia chaffeensis Co-Opts Phagocytic Hemocytes for Systemic Dissemination in the Lone Star Tick, Amblyomma americanum

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

Definition of Drosophila hemocyte subsets by cell-type specific antigens.

, 2007
We analyzed the heterogeneity of Drosophila hemocytes on the basis of the expression of cell-type specific antigens. The antigens characterize distinct subsets which partially overlap with those defined by morphological criteria.

Flow cytometric characterization of freshwater crayfish hemocytes for the examination of physiological status in wild and captive animals

, 2009
Enumeration of invertebrate hemocytes is a potentially powerful tool for the determination of physiological effects of extrinsic stressors, such as hypoxia, disease, and toxicant exposure.

MORPHOLOGY OF BIOMPHALARIA GLABRATA HEMOCYTES AND THEIR INTERACTION WITH MIRACIDIUM OF SHISTOSOMA MANSONI [PDF]

Acta Medica Iranica, 2005
Schistosomiasis is the second most common parasitic cause of death, after malaria. Biomphalaria glabrata is a fresh water snail with medical importance since it is the intermediate host of Schistosoma mansoni, an agent of schistosomiasis.

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 ...

Hemocyte diversity in crustaceans

Fish & Shellfish Immunology
Crustaceans is a diverse and ecologically significant invertebrate group, in which circulating hemocytes act as the main immune defense cells, also participating in blood clotting and wound repair. As a result, considerable research has focused on understanding hemocyte function in crustaceans, with species such as crayfish and shrimp being commonly ...

rEs-FABPs promote encapsulation by hemocytes.

, 2013
Coating with rEs-FABP9 and rEs-FABP10 and rTrx (as a control) were incubated with hemocytes for 6 h and 24 h respectively at room temperature. Encapsulation of the protein-coated beads was observed by light microscopy: (a, b) rTrx-coated beads were ...

Host, vector, and parasite dynamics: exploring intrinsic and extrinsic factors shaping tick‐borne filarial nematode transmission

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tick‐borne filarial nematodes are a complex and understudied group of parasites that rely on ticks for transmission in vertebrates. This review examines how intrinsic and extrinsic factors may influence the successful transmission of filarial nematodes in tick vectors, drawing insights from extensively studied haematophagous dipteran vector ...
