Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are peptide-based effector molecules produced by the innate
immune system to combat microbes. Insects produce the broadest repertoire of AMPs, and …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) in insects have the potential to be developed as
chemotherapy agents against numerous microbial species. This article reviewed the existing …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are short proteins with antimicrobial activity. A large portion of
known AMPs originate from insects, and the number and diversity of these molecules in …

Several insects are known as vectors of a wide range of animal and human pathogens
causing various diseases. However, they are also a source of different substances, such as …

Insects are amazingly resistant to bacterial infections. To combat pathogens, insects rely on
cellular and humoral mechanisms, innate immunity being dominant in the latter category …

The first antimicrobial peptides were isolated from the cecropia moth Hyalophora cecropia in
1980. Since then a plethora of antimicrobial peptides have been isolated from other …

Host-defense peptides, also called antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), whose protective action
has been used by animals for millions of years, fulfill many requirements of the …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are integral components of the host innate immune system
and functional throughout the plant and animal kingdoms. AMPs are short cationic …

More than 3000 antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been discovered, seven of which have
been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Now commercialized, these …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) could evolve into new therapeutic lead molecules against
multi‐resistant bacteria. As insects are a rich source of AMP, the identification and …
