Beschreibung
It can be seen that the insects are the still attracting most research and researchers. However, an increasing interest is emerging to study new invertebrate groups, especially those where the genome is known. Even though Drosophila has been and still is an excellent model for immune studies, it is now clear that there are great differences between immune responses in Drosophila and that of several other invertebrates, which indeed calls for more research on other invertebrates
Describes diversity between different invertebrate animal groups Shows that the prophenoloxidase activating system and the induction of the Toll pathway in an insect share the same proteolytic cascade Displays a growing interest in invertebrate immunity, which is the study of the link between physiology and immunity
