Insect Immunity: An Evolutionary Ecology Perspective (2005, background): “They are capable of phagocytosis in some insect species (Lavine and Strand, 2002) and are the first haemocytes to form an encapsulation response to a large invader (Pech and Strand, 1996) – quickly followed by other cell types.”
Insect immune resistance to parasitoids (2008, background): “…hemocytes are involved in the initial recognition step following infection (Pech & Strand, 1996), little is known about the “non-self” recognition process that leads to hemocyte activation and proliferation (Lavine & Strand, 2002) (see the section “the molecular approach to resistance”).”
Selected morpho-chemical features of hemocytes in farmed shrimp, Fenneropenaeus indicus in Iran (2010, background): “Lavine and Strand (2002), Cerenius and Söderhäll (2004) and Iwanaga and Lee (2005) proved that these reactions are often observed to become melanized, through the action of phenoloxidase.”
Ecological considerations in producing and formulating fungal entomopathogens for use in insect biocontrol (2010, background): “Insect defences are based on the innate immune system of the insect and consist of humoral and cellular responses (Lavine and Strand 2002).”
Encapsulation and nodulation in insects (2016, background): “Aggregation of granular cells followed by degranulation is typical for the lepidopterans unlike the dipterans that are characterized initially by the spreading of plasmatocytes or a purely humoral encapsulation response (Vey and Gotz, 1976; Lavine and Strand, 2002).”
Feeding by lepidopteran larvae is dangerous: A review of caterpillars’ chemical, physiological, morphological, and behavioral defenses against natural enemies (2012, background): “Precursors for these cells are produced by the hematopoeisis organs located in the meso- and meta-thorax (Lavine and Strand, 2002; Strand, 2008).”
Phenoloxidase: a key component of the insect immune system (2012, background): “These proteins attract plasmatocytes (Lavine & Strand, 2002), which form a multicellular plasmatocyte wall (Wood et al., 2006).”
Resistance of Drosophila suzukii to the larval parasitoids Leptopilina heterotoma and Asobara japonica is related to haemocyte load (2013, background): “As in D. melanogaster (Lanot et al., 2001; Lavine & Strand, 2002; Meister, 2004), plasmatocytes represent the main, most abundant haemocytic cell type in unparasitized D. suzukii © 2013 The Royal Entomological Society, Physiological Entomology, 38, 45–53 larvae, although crystal cells and…”
The insect cellular immune response (2008, background): “…been extensively used to name different hemocyte types in species from diverse orders including Lepidoptera, Diptera other than Drosophila, Orthoptera, Blattaria, Coleoptera, Hymenoptera, Hemiptera, and Collembola (see Jones, 1962; Lackie, 1988; Lavine & Strand, 2002; Ribeiro & Brehelin, 2006).”
Galleria mellonella larvae as models for studying fungal virulence (2010, background): “Haemolymph contains immune cells called haemocytes which are capable of immobilising and killing invading microbes (Lavine and Strand, 2002).”
The biology of blood-sucking in insects (2005, positive): “The latter approach in particular holds much promise for sorting out the relationships of haemocytes in different taxa (Lavine and Strand, 2002).”
