Inbred decorated crickets exhibit higher measures of macroparasitic immunity than outbred individuals.

Heredity - 1 Sept 2010

Gershman S N, Barnett C A, Pettinger A M, Weddle C B, Hunt J, Sakaluk S K

Abstract excerpt

Inbreeding is assumed to have negative effects on fitness, including the reduced ability to withstand immune challenges. We examined the immunological consequences of inbreeding in decorated crickets, Gryllodes sigillatus, by comparing lytic activity, phenoloxidase (PO) activity, and encapsulatio...
