The ascidian prophenoloxidase activating system [PDF]
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2009 Phenoloxidases/tyrosinases initiate melanin synthesis in almost all organisms, and are involved in different biological activities such as the colour change of human hair and the browning or blackening of fruit skin etc.

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.Parasitoid wasps deploy maternal and embryonic factors to reprogramme host physiology. Venom, calyx fluid, polydnaviruses, teratocytes and larval secretions act in a coordinated, compartmentalised manner. Host‐regulation factors are promising sources of insecticidal, antimicrobial and bioinspired translational molecules.

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Disease outbreaks and the associated reliance on antibiotics pose major constraints to the sustainability of modern aquaculture. As regulatory pressures increase and consumer demand shifts toward residue‐free production, diverse biological interventions are gaining prominence as viable alternatives to chemotherapeutics.

Drosophila melanogaster Responses against Entomopathogenic Nematodes: Focus on Hemolymph Clots
Insects, 2020 Several insect innate immune mechanisms are activated in response to infection by entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs). In this review, we focus on the coagulation of hemolymph, which acts to stop bleeding after injury and prevent access of pathogens to the

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.Oviposition and care decrease the total haemocyte concentration. Oviposition and care affect haemocyte type proportions. Serratia marcescens challenge does not affect the immune cell parameters. Abstract Reproduction and immunity are essential biological processes that compete for resources and energy.

The phenoloxidase-like activity of purified peroxidase from Triticum aestivum L. seedlings leaves.
, 1989 Peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.7) isozymes from Triticum aestivum L. leaves, showing also phenoloxidase (EC 1.10.3.1; EC 1.10.3.2; EC 1.14.18.1) activity, were partially purified to confirm their polyfunctional nature.

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 5, October 2026.ABSTRACT The sustainable advancement of aquaculture can be supported using functional feed ingredients with immunomodulatory activity. These studies evaluated the immunonutritional effects of dietary nucleotides (NU) and an olive bioactive extract (OE) in Pacific white shrimp (PWS), Penaeus vannamei. A 56‑day growth trial (n = 1000 PWS; PL42‐43; 1.23 ±
