Eicosanoids: Exploiting Insect Immunity to Improve Biological Control Programs [PDF]
Insects, 2012 Insects, like all invertebrates, express robust innate, but not adaptive, immune reactions to infection and invasion. Insect immunity is usually resolved into three major components. The integument serves as a physical barrier to infections.

Insect immunity in the Anthropocene. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos SocABSTRACTAnthropogenic activities result in global change, including climate change, landscape degradation and pollution, that can alter insect physiology and immune defences. These changes may have contributed to global insect decline and the dynamics of insect‐transmitted diseases.

Recent trends in insect gut immunity
Frontiers in Immunology, 2023 The gut is a crucial organ in insect defense against various pathogens and harmful substances in their environment and diet. Distinct insect gut compartments possess unique functionalities contributing to their physiological processes, including immunity.

Insect egg-induced innate immunity: Who benefits?
PLoS Pathogens, 2023 Plants perceive the presence of insect eggs deposited on leaves as a cue of imminent herbivore attack. Consequential plant signaling events include the accumulation of salicylic acid and reactive oxygen species, transcriptional reprogramming, and cell ...

Behavioral Immunity in Insects [PDF]
Insects, 2012 Parasites can dramatically reduce the fitness of their hosts, and natural selection should favor defense mechanisms that can protect hosts against disease. Much work has focused on understanding genetic and physiological immunity against parasites, but hosts can also use behaviors to avoid infection, reduce parasite growth or alleviate disease symptoms.

Diversity and Functions of Yeast Communities Associated with Insects
Microorganisms, 2021 Following the concept of the holobiont, insect-microbiota interactions play an important role in insect biology. Many examples of host-associated microorganisms have been reported to drastically influence insect biological processes such as development ...

Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals developmental heterogeneity among Plasmodium berghei sporozoites
Scientific Reports, 2021 In the malaria-causing parasite’s life cycle, Plasmodium sporozoites must travel from the midgut of a mosquito to the salivary glands before they can infect a mammalian host. However, only a fraction of sporozoites complete the journey.
