Research on innate immunity has attracted large interest the last years. Most of the knowledge has its origin in insect immunity. However, while the immune responses against bacteria and fungi are well- known, little is known about responses to parasites in non-vector insects and to viruses. This book focuses in particular on immune responses to viruses among moths (Lepidoptera), but also covers aspects of parasitic and viral immunity in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster.

Produktbeschreibung
Research on innate immunity has attracted large
interest the last years. Most of the knowledge has
its origin in insect immunity. However, while the
immune responses against bacteria and fungi are well-
known, little is known about responses to parasites
in non-vector insects and to viruses. This book
focuses in particular on immune responses to viruses
among moths (Lepidoptera), but also covers aspects
of parasitic and viral immunity in the fruit fly
Drosophila melanogaster. Remarkably little is known
about immune responses to viral infection in moths
although they are heavily struck by virus infection.
This book suggests possible mechanisms for virus
defence and as such should be an inspirational
source for researchers or students interested in
immunity in general and innate immunity in
particular.
