家蚕是一种重要的经济昆虫，通常在室内饲养，对包括细菌、真菌、病毒和微孢子虫在内的各种病原体都很敏感。与其他昆虫一样，家蚕缺乏适应性免疫系统，仅依靠先天免疫来防御感染。与其他被深入研究的昆虫，如果蝇和烟草角虫相比，家蚕的主要免疫途径仍然不清楚。本文综述了有关家蚕对细菌和真菌的免疫应答的文献，并对未来的家蚕免疫研究进行了展望。(C)2017爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
The silkworm Bombyx mori, an economically important insect that is usually reared indoors, is susceptible to various pathogens, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and microsporidia. As with other insects, the silkworm lacks an adaptive immune system and relies solely on innate immunity to defend itself against infection. Compared to other intensively studied insects, such as the fruit fly and tobacco hornworm, the principal immune pathways in the silkworm remain unclear. In this article, we review the literature concerning silkworm immune responses to bacteria and fungi and present our perspectives on future research into silkworm immunity. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd.
