免疫系统、神经系统和行为之间的相互作用在脊椎动物中得到了很好的确立。对其他动物中这些相互作用的比较研究将有助于我们理解它们的进化和呈现适应功能。昆虫表现出与脊椎动物相似的免疫行为相互作用，这表明它们中的许多可能具有高度保守的功能。昆虫免疫反应的激活会导致疾病引起的厌食症、行为发热、生殖行为的改变，并在广泛的物种中降低学习能力。逃亡或战斗的行为会导致抵抗力下降。在昆虫中，疾病引起的厌食症可能会增强免疫力。应激诱导的免疫抑制可能是由于免疫反应与其他生理过程之间的生理冲突所致。由于昆虫占据着广泛的生态位，它们将有助于研究动物的行为生态学如何塑造一些免疫-行为相互作用。
Interactions between immune systems, nervous systems, and behavior are well established in vertebrates. A comparative examination of these interactions in other animals will help us understand their evolution and present adaptive functions. Insects show immune-behavioral interactions similar to those seen in vertebrates, suggesting that many of them may have a highly conserved function. Activation of an immune response in insects results in illness-induced anorexia, behavioral fever, changes in reproductive behavior, and decreased learning ability in a broad range of species. Flight-or-fight behaviors result in a decline in disease resistance. In insects, illness-induced anorexia may enhance immunity. Stress-induced immunosuppression is probably due to physiological conflicts between the immune response and those of other physiological processes. Because insects occupy a wide range of ecological niches, they will be useful in examining how some immune-behavioral interactions are sculpted by an animal's behavioral ecology.
