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.

Proteomics and insect immunity [PDF]
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2006 Insect innate immunity is both a model for vertebrate immunity as well as a key system that impactsmedically important pathogens that are transmitted by insects.

Eicosanoids: Exploiting Insect Immunity to Improve Biological Control Programs
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.

Comparative genomics of insect immunity
, 2009 Abstract This chapter compares the Drosophila group with mosquitoes and honeybees to disentangle common themes from specific components of immunity. Honeybees, for example, have a relatively small set of immune genes which demonstrate a high degree of conservatism.

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.

Insect immunity: from pattern recognition to symbiont-mediated host defense [PDF]
, 2009 The Jacques Monod conference “Insect Immunity in Action: From Fundamental Mechanisms of Host Defense to Resistance Against Infections in Nature,” organized by Ulrich Theopold (Stockholm University, Sweden) and Dominique Ferrandon (CNRS, France), was held

An Effector TaCRVP From Tuta Absoluta Oral Secretion Impairs H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>-Mediated Plant Defense by Targeting Tomato SlCAT2. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)The Tuta absoluta salivary effector TaCRVP subverts tomato immunity by hijacking host catalase SlCAT2. Through a sophisticated dual mechanism, TaCRVP simultaneously promotes SlCAT2 tetramerization for activation and blocks its SlAdBiL‐mediated degradation for stabilization.

Parasitic Nematode Immunomodulatory Strategies: Recent Advances and Perspectives
Pathogens, 2016 More than half of the described species of the phylum Nematoda are considered parasitic, making them one of the most successful groups of parasites. Nematodes are capable of inhabiting a wide variety of niches. A vast array of vertebrate animals, insects,

The impact of parasites on host insect epigenetics
, 2022 S.145-165The epigenetic regulation of gene expression has been recognized as an alternative to genetic mutation for the conversion of environmental stressors, such as the presence of parasites, into heritable phenotypic changes.

Insects, 2022 Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) represent a diverse class of RNAs that are structurally similar to messenger RNAs (mRNAs) but do not encode proteins.
