Pathogen-specific social immunity is associated with erosion of individual immune function in an ant
Masson F, Brown R, Vizueta J, Irvine T, Xiong Z, Romiguier J, et al.
Nat Commun
. 2024 Oct;
15(1):9260.
PMID: 39461955
Contagious diseases are a major threat to societies in which individuals live in close contact. Social insects have evolved collective defense behaviors, such as social care or isolation of infected...

PMID: 37223258
Iron is involved in numerous biological processes in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes and is therefore subject to a tug-of-war between host and microbes upon pathogenic infections. In the fruit fly...

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
. 2022 Jul;
119(30):e2208461119.
PMID: 35858432
Insects frequently harbor endosymbionts, which are bacteria housed within host tissues. These associations are stably maintained over evolutionary timescales through vertical transmission of endosymbionts from host mothers to their offspring....

A secreted factor NimrodB4 promotes the elimination of apoptotic corpses by phagocytes in Drosophila
Petrignani B, Rommelaere S, Hakim-Mishnaevski K, Masson F, Ramond E, Hilu-Dadia R, et al.
EMBO Rep
. 2021 Aug;
22(9):e52262.
PMID: 34370384
Programmed cell death plays a fundamental role in development and tissue homeostasis. Professional and non-professional phagocytes achieve the proper recognition, uptake, and degradation of apoptotic cells, a process called efferocytosis....

PLoS One
. 2021 Apr;
16(4):e0250524.
PMID: 33914801
Insects are frequently infected with heritable bacterial endosymbionts. Endosymbionts have a dramatic impact on their host physiology and evolution. Their tissue distribution is variable with some species being housed intracellularly,...

Microbiol Mol Biol Rev
. 2020 Nov;
84(4).
PMID: 33177190
Insects are often involved in endosymbiosis, that is, the housing of symbiotic microbes within their tissues or within their cells. Endosymbionts are a major driving force in insects' evolution, because...

Appl Environ Microbiol
. 2020 May;

PMID: 32444468
Insects are frequently infected by bacterial symbionts that greatly affect their physiology and ecology. Most of these endosymbionts are, however, barely tractable outside their native host, rendering functional genetics studies...
