PGRP-LA regulates peritrophic matrix synthesis and influences trypanosome infection outcomes in tsetse flies
2025-09-12
Abstract excerpt
Peptidoglycan Recognition Proteins (PGRPs) are conserved pattern-recognition receptors that detect microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) and activate host immune responses. Compared to other dipterans, the tsetse fly ( Glossina morsitans morsitans ) genome encodes only five PGRPs-PGRP-LA, -LB, -LC, -SA, and -SB – far fewer than most dipterans, likely reflecting its sterile blood diet and streamlined micro...
