Molecular and cellular analysis of immunity in the phytoplasma vector Euscelidius variegatus: exploiting immunity to improve biological control strategies

Insects depend on innate immunity only to defend themselves against pathogens and to regulate interactions with many other microorganisms, such as different kinds of symbionts. Recently, it has been suggested that immunocytes could play a role in the vectorial capacity of insects leading to an incr...
