Survival for Immunity: The Price of Immune System Activation for Bumblebee Workers by Moret, Yannick, Schmid-Hempel, Paul

“…Parasites do not always harm their hosts because the immune system keeps an infection at bay. Ironically, the cost of using immune defenses could itself reduce…”

Biological invasion and parasitism: invaders do not suffer from physiological alterations of the acanthocephalan Pomphorhynchus laevis by Cornet, S, Sorci, G, Moret, Y

Adaptive innate immunity? Responsive-mode prophylaxis in the mealworm beetle, Tenebrio molitor by Moret, Yannick, Siva-Jothy, Michael T.

“…We found that pre–challenged larvae produced a long–lasting antimicrobial response, which provided a survival benefit when the larvae were exposed to fungal…”

Wolbachia endosymbiont responsible for cytoplasmic incompatibility in a terrestrial crustacean: effects in natural and foreign hosts by Moret, Y., Juchault, P., Rigaud, T.

Variation in the risk of being wounded: an overlooked factor in studies of invertebrate immune function? by Plaistow, S. J., Outreman, Y., Moret, Y., Rigaud, T.

“…In invertebrates, wounding can trigger an immune response, and will often expose organisms to parasites and pathogens. Here we show that in the amphipod…”
