The innate immune system plays a critical role in the ability of insects to adapt to changing environments, and its underlying mechanism has become a new area of research in pest control. The insect innate immune system is comprised of humoral immunity and cellular immunity, and involves many proteins and molecules. Research on the innate immune system of insects has advanced greatly in recent years, mainly due to research on the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. D. melanogaster is an ideal model organism for studying innate immunity due to its clear genetic background and many available manipulation tools. Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and immune signaling pathways have been well investigated in Drosophila. In this mini-review, we summarize recent advances in research on the innate immune system of Drosophila over the last 20 years. We hope that this review will inspire the study of the innate immune mechanisms of other insect species and provide a theoretical basis for pest control. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
