Hemocytes in Myriapoda (Arthropoda): a review [PDF]
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 ...

CYTOCHEMICAL FEATURES OF SHRIMP HEMOCYTES
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 ...

Gastropod-derived haemocyte extracellular traps entrap metastrongyloid larval stages of Angiostrongylus vasorum, Aelurostrongylus abstrusus and Troglostrongylus brevior [PDF]
Background: Phagocyte-derived extracellular traps (ETs) were recently demonstrated mainly in vertebrate hosts as an important effector mechanism against invading parasites.

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 ...

Disseminated neoplasia in blue mussels, Mytilus galloprovincialis, from the Black Sea, Romania [PDF]
Disseminated neoplasia, also called leukemia or hemic neoplasia, has been detected in 15 species of marine bivalve mollusks worldwide. The disease is characterized by the presence of single anaplastic cells with enlarged nuclei and sometimes frequent ...

Zinc and Manduca sexta hemocyte functions [PDF]
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.

Pvr expression regulators in equilibrium signal control and maintenance of Drosophila blood progenitors. [PDF]
Blood progenitors within the lymph gland, a larval organ that supports hematopoiesis in Drosophila melanogaster, are maintained by integrating signals emanating from niche-like cells and those from differentiating blood cells.

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
