Induction of antimicrobial peptide synthesis by the fat body cells of maggots of Calliphora vicina R.-D. (Diptera, Calliphoridae)
Fat body is the major site of peptide antibiotic synthesis in insects. The goal of this work was to search in Calliphora vicina maggot for humoral factors that induce synthesis of antimicrobial peptides by the fa...

Neurogenic and septic inductions of synthesis of peptide antibiotics in larvae of Calliphora vicina R.-D. (Diptera: Calliphoridae)
Synthesis of antimicrobial peptides in diapausing larvae of the blowfly Calliphora vicina can be induced by two different pathways. One pathway is well known in insects and includes recognition of microbial parti...
