Late sporogonic stages of Plasmodium parasites are susceptible to the melanization response in Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
The malaria-causing parasites have to complete a complex infection cycle in the mosquito vector that also involves attack by the insect’s innate immune system, especially at the early stages of midgut infection.

Encapsulation and Melanization Are Not Correlated to Successful Immune Defense Against Parasitoid Wasps in Drosophila melanogaster

Cells
Parasitoid elimination in Drosophila melanogaster involves special hemocytes, called lamellocytes, which encapsulate the eggs or larvae of the parasitoid wasps. The capsules are melanized, and metabolites of the melanization reaction may play a potential

Glyphosate and Melanization

, 2021
Melanin is a black-brown pigment found throughout all kingdoms of life playing diverse roles including: UV protection, thermoregulation, oxidant scavenging, arthropod immunity, and microbial virulence.

An Immune-Responsive Serpin Regulates the Melanization Cascade in Drosophila [PDF]

, 2002
In arthropods, the melanization reaction is associated with multiple host defense mechanisms leading to the sequestration and killing of invading microorganisms.

MELANISM AND HUMIDITY [PDF]

The Canadian Entomologist, 1891
At different times considerable attention has been paid to the general darkening in colour of our British insects, compared with Centrall European and with American forms. In Britian, many species become much darker(some absolutely black) on various parts of the West Coasts of Ireland and Great Britian, and, as a general rule, the more humid districts ...

Faster cryptococcus melanization increases virulence in experimental and human cryptococcosis [PDF]

, 2022
Cryptococcus spp. are human pathogens that cause 181,000 deaths per year. In this work, we systematically investigated the virulence attributes of Cryptococcus spp.

Extracellular vesicles secreted by Brugia malayi microfilariae modulate the melanization pathway in the mosquito host [PDF]

, 2022
Vector-borne, filarial nematode diseases represent a significant and affecting disease burden in humans, domestic animals, and livestock worldwide. Parasitic filarial nematodes require both an intermediate (vector) host and a definitive (mammalian) host ...

Distinct Melanization Pathways in the Mosquito Aedes aegypti [PDF]

, 2010
SummarySerine protease cascades are involved in blood coagulation and immunity. In arthropods, they regulate melanization, which plays an important role in immune defense and wound healing. However, the mechanisms underlying melanization pathways are not
