The immune system is a life history trait that can be expected to trade off against other life
history traits. Whether or not a trait is considered to be a life history trait has consequences …

In this overview, some of the more significant recent developments in bioengineering natural
products from insects with use or potential use in modern medicine are described, as well as …

Technical limitations have hindered comprehensive studies of highly variable immune
response molecules that are thought to have evolved due to pathogen-mediated selection …

The discovery over the last decade of highly variable immune-response molecules even in
invertebrates reveals a new scenario on the modalities of non-self discrimination in these …

Recent advances in comparative immunology have established that invertebrates produce
hypervariable molecules probably related to immunity, suggesting the possibility of raising a …

The article discusses various adaptive immune responses of vertebrates. Jawless fish such
as agnathans do not exhibit the same adaptive immune response as gnathostomes which …

Le système immunitaire inné de B. glabrata est capable de mémoire en réponse à des
infestations répétées par S. mansoni. Cette mémoire immunitaire innée (MII) est encore …

In a modern immunological perspective, it may be asserted that the phagocytic cell should
not be considered as the" serfdom", but rather the pivot of the immune system. Indeed, the …

To study how immunity is achieved in insect societies I investigated the antiparasite defence
of mainly the invasive garden ant Lasius neglectus when exposed to the entomopathogenic …

The protistan parasite Perkinsus marinus causes Dermo disease in the eastern oyster,
Crassostrea virginica. This parasite causes reduced growth and fecundity in its ecologically …
