IMMUNE GENE REGULATION IN THE GUT DURING METAMORPHOSIS IN TWO HOLO- VERSUS A HEMIMETABOLOUS INSECT
2022-06-29
Abstract excerpt
During complete metamorphosis, holometabolous insects remodel their entire anatomy, including the gut and must control their microbiota to avoid infectious disease. High activity of antimicrobial peptides and proteins in the gut during metamorphosis has been best described in several Lepidoptera. The immune system of the dipteran Drosophila melanogaster also controls the number of bacteria during metamorphosis. H...
