Insect Innate Immunity Database (IIID): an annotation tool for identifying immune genes in insect genomes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The innate immune system is an ancient component of host defense. Since innate immunity pathways are well conserved throughout many eukaryotes, immune genes in model animals can be used to putatively identify homologous genes in newly sequenced genomes ...

Can Plant Lectins Help to Elucidate Insect Lectin-Mediated Immune Response?
Insects, 2021 Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins that recognize and selectively bind to specific sugar structures. This group of proteins is widespread in plants, animals, and microorganisms, and exerts a broad range of functions.

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 The innate immune system is the primary defense response to limit invading pathogens for all invertebrate species. In insects, immune cells are central to both cellular and humoral immune responses, however few genetic resources exist beyond Drosophila ...

Insects, 2018 Drosophila melanogaster is an excellent model to dissect the molecular components and pathways of the innate anti-pathogen immune response. The nematode parasite Steinernema carpocapsae and its mutualistic bacterium Xenorhabdus nematophila form a complex

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,

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.

Social immunity in insects [PDF]
Current Biology, 2019 When animals become sick, infected cells and an armada of activated immune cells attempt to eliminate the pathogen from the body. Once infectious particles have breached the body's physical barriers of the skin or gut lining, an initially local response quickly escalates into a systemic response, attracting mobile immune cells to the site of infection.

Journal of Innate Immunity, 2023 Insect humoral immune responses are regulated in part by protease cascades, whose components circulate as zymogens in the hemolymph. In mosquitoes, these cascades consist of clip-domain serine proteases (cSPs) and/or their non-catalytic homologs, which ...
