Very nice srudy from the Ferrandon lab. Nora virus is an intestinal pathogen that increase susceptibility, especially over ageing.

The #OpenAccess #EditorsChoice article for the issue investigated how immunity and detoxification gene regulation pathways influenced antimicrobial defence in #Anopheles mosquitoes.

Why not give it a read?

I apologise it's paywalled. It is something I won't be doing again so help me. But if you are interested in #InsectImmunity in general, this is our primer for #ImmuneEvolution beyond #Drosophila
A diagram detailing the conservation of Toll and Imd signalling genes across model insect species An overview of antimicrobial peptide types, including examples like various G-rich peptides that increasingly look like a pore if extended long enough. Also peptides like Apidaecin or Hymenoptaecin which are encoded as polypeptide precursors, and show multiple copies of the same peptide interspersed by furin cleavage sites and dipeptidylpeptidase motifs. A summary table of what is known of Toll and Imd signalling specificity to different microbial elicitors across diferent insects. Specific genes and their strengths of induction are annotated, alongside key references.
