Insects are the most diverse organisms on earth, accounting for~ 80% of all animals. They
are valuable as model organisms, particularly in the context of genetics, development …

Insects are the most diverse animal group on the planet. Their success is reflected by the
diversity of habitats in which they live. However, these habitats have undergone great …

Simple Summary It is known that food nutrients affect hosts immune responses in response
to infection. However, the results found in the literature show that the effect of the quantity …

Immunity is an essential function for host homeostasis through its action on the control of
pathogenic organisms and malignant cells. Immune defenses also require a finely-tuned …

In this study, the effects of different concentrations of carbohydrates on the phenoloxidase
activity (PO) and development of Ephestia kuehniella larvae were investigated. For this …

We investigated the intra-and trans-generational effects of larval diet on immune function,
body size and development time of the greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella (Lepidoptera …

The innate immune response in insects relies on cellular responses. In most lepidopteran
species, challenging the immune system causes an increase in hemocyte numbers and …

Non‐linear immune response is one of the causes of multi‐stability of infection outcomes. In
order to avoid the uncertainty caused by multi‐stability in experiments, one needs to …

Food-induced changes in the phenoloxidase activity and development of Agelastica alni (L.,
1758)(Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) larvae reared on unbalanced artificial diets were …
