Plant Immunity to Insect Herbivores

Annual Review of Plant Biology, 2008
Herbivorous insects use diverse feeding strategies to obtain nutrients from their host plants. Rather than acting as passive victims in these interactions, plants respond to herbivory with the production of toxins and defensive proteins that target physiological processes in the insect.

Insect immunity against microsporidia

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology
Microsporidia are a group of fungi-related, unicellular eukaryotic parasites that, over the course of their long evolutionary history, have colonized a wide range of hosts from other unicellular organisms to mammals. A significant portion of the described microsporidian species infect insects, including economically important ones such as honeybees and

Cell-Free Immunity in Insects

Annual Review of Microbiology, 1981
Abstract An inducible antibacterial activity is a main part of the immune system of the Cecropia moth and several other insects. The active material is a family of small proteins called cecropins. Sequence work shows that at least two of the cecropins originate from a gene duplication.

Immunity in Lepidopteran Insects

2010
Lepidopteran insects provide important model systems for innate immunity of insects, particularly for cell biology of hemocytes and biochemical analyses of plasma proteins. Caterpillars are also among the most serious agricultural pests, and understanding of their immune systems has potential practical significance.
