Insect immunology and hematopoiesis
JF Hillyer - Developmental & Comparative Immunology, 2016 - Elsevier
Insects combat infection by mounting powerful immune responses that are mediated by

Drosophila immune cells transport oxygen through PPO2 protein phase transition
Insect respiration has long been thought to be solely dependent on an elaborate tracheal
system without assistance from the circulatory system or immune cells,. Here we describe …

Natural selection has driven the recurrent loss of an immunity gene that protects Drosophila against a major natural parasite
Polymorphisms in immunity genes can have large effects on susceptibility to infection. To
understand the origins of this variation, we have investigated the genetic basis of resistance …
