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 ...

Blood feeding increases the proportion of hemocytes labeled by BrdU. [PDF]
Phase-contrast (A), epiflorescent (B) and a phase-epifluorescent merged image (C) of A. aegypti hemocytes from a BF female collected 24 h pbm. The nuclei of actively cycling hemocytes that incorporated BrdU are labeled green, whereas the nuclei of ...

Formation of pseudopod-like cytoplasmic extensions in hemocytes. [PDF]
(A) The proportion of the filopodia-like extensions in hemocytes. (B) The morphology of circulating hemocytes in immune induced larvae 24 h after infestation. Arrowheads indicate the cytoplasmic extensions in hemocytes.

Subversion of Atypical Mucin Traps by a Spore‐Coat Effector Blocks Cellular Immunity in Drosophila
While the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium robertsii can evade insect humoral immunity, its subversion of cellular defenses is still elusive. We identify Eac1 as a spore‐coat protein essential for infecting drosophilids by targeting atypical mucins (Sgf1 and Sgf2), which can entrap spores in a gel matrix and thereby facilitate hemocyte encapsulation.

Seven‐year surveillance reveals a cold‐adapted OsHV‐1 lineage in blood clams, with disease onset at 13°C—3–5°C lower than in oysters—and identifies asymptomatic carriers and facility effluent as key transmission routes. ABSTRACT Ostreid herpesvirus 1 (OsHV‐1) poses a major threat to bivalve aquaculture, but its impact on blood clams (Anadara ...

Hemocyte diversity in crustaceans
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 ...

ABSTRACT This study reports, for the first time, the use of the speckled cockroach Nauphoeta cinerea as a promising bioindicator for genotoxic monitoring. It was validated through control groups (both positive and negative) in addition to testing lettuce (Lactuca sativa ) samples from public street markets consumed by N. cinerea specimens in Pernambuco,

rEs-DWD1 promotes encapsulation by hemocytes. [PDF]
Encapsulation of protein-coated beads by hemocytes was observed by light microscopy. Beads were either not incubated with TBS (a, b, c) and rTrx (g, h, i) or coated with rEs-DWD1, followed by incubation with hemocytes for 2 h (d), 6 h (e) or 24 h (f).

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