IMD-mediated innate immune priming increases Drosophila survival and reduces pathogen transmission. [PDF]
PLoS PathogensInvertebrates lack the immune machinery underlying vertebrate-like acquired immunity. However, in many insects past infection by the same pathogen can 'prime' the immune response, resulting in improved survival upon reinfection. Here, we investigated the

Immune Priming: Mothering Males Modulate Immunity [PDF]
Current Biology, 2013 The transfer of immunity from mother to offspring is widespread in animals. The father's contribution to this is usually negligible. However, in a sex-role reversed pipefish where fathers do the mothering, fathers make an important immune priming contribution, too.

mBio, 2020 Over the last decade, innate immune priming has been evidenced in many invertebrate phyla. If mechanistic models have been proposed, molecular studies aiming to substantiate these models have remained scarce.

Immune Control of Herpesvirus Infection in Molluscs
Pathogens, 2020 Molluscan herpesviruses that are capable of infecting economically important species of abalone and oysters have caused significant losses in production due to the high mortality rate of infected animals.

Immune priming and pathogen resistance in ant queens [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2014 AbstractGrowing empirical evidence indicates that invertebrates become more resistant to a pathogen following initial exposure to a nonlethal dose; yet the generality, mechanisms, and adaptive value of such immune priming are still under debate. Because life‐history theory predicts that immune priming and large investment in immunity should be more ...

Gut bacteria induce heterologous immune priming in Rhodnius prolixus encompassing both humoral and cellular immune responses. [PDF]
PLoS PathogensInsects lack the adaptive, antibody mediated responses of vertebrates, yet they possess a robust innate immune system capable of defending themselves against pathogens.

Grandparental immune priming in the pipefish Syngnathus typhle [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2017 Phenotypic changes in response to environmental influences can persist from one generation into the next. In many systems parental parasite experience influences offspring immune responses, known as transgenerational immune priming (TGIP). TGIP in vertebrates is mainly maternal and short-term, supporting the adaptive immune system of the offspring ...

Maternal Priming of Offspring Immune System in Drosophila [PDF]
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020 Immune priming occurs when a past infection experience leads to a more effective immune response upon a secondary exposure to the infection or pathogen.

Infection risk by oral contamination does not induce immune priming in the mealworm beetle (Tenebrio molitor) but triggers behavioral and physiological responses [PDF]
Frontiers in ImmunologyIn invertebrates, immune priming is the ability of individuals to enhance their immune response based on prior immunological experiences. This adaptive-like immunity likely evolved due to the risk of repeated infections by parasites in the host’s natural

Immune priming: the secret weapon of the insect world [PDF]
Virulence, 2020 Insects are a highly successful group of animals that inhabit almost every habitat and environment on Earth. Part of their success is due to a rapid and highly effective immune response that identifies, inactivates, and eliminates pathogens.
