Insect antimicrobial peptides act synergistically to inhibit a trypanosome parasite.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences - 26 May 2016

Marxer Monika, Vollenweider Vera, Schmid-Hempel Paul

Abstract excerpt

The innate immune system provides protection from infection by producing essential effector molecules, such as antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) that possess broad-spectrum activity. This is also the case for bumblebees, Bombus terrestris, when infected by the trypanosome, Crithidia bombi Furthermore, the expressed mixture of AMPs varies with host genetic background and infecting parasite strain (genotype). Here, we...
