Tick histamine release factor is critical for Ixodes scapularis engorgement and transmission of the lyme disease agent.
TL;DR: It is speculated that tHRF might function in vivo to modulate vascular permeability and increase blood flow to the tick bite-site, facilitating tick engorgement and blocking tick feeding and transmission of tick-borne pathogens.
Ixodes scapularis salivary gland protein P11 facilitates migration of Anaplasma phagocytophilum from the tick gut to salivary glands
TL;DR: New insights are provided into A. phagocytophilum infection of ticks and new avenues to interrupt the life cycle of Anaplasma and related Rickettsial pathogens are revealed.
Insect tissue-specific vitellogenin facilitates transmission of plant virus.

TL;DR: The results reveal the sex-independent expression and tissue-specific processing of LsVg and also unprecedentedly connect the function of this protein in mediating virus transmission to its particular molecular forms existing in tissues previously known as non-Vg producing.

Expression of immune responsive genes in cell lines from two different Anopheline species
Coralia Luna,Ngo Thi Hoa,H. Lin,H. Lin,Lili Zhang,Lili Zhang,H. L. A. Nguyen,Stefan M. Kanzok,Liangbiao Zheng +8 more
TL;DR: There are significant overlaps of genes regulated by the Toll‐Rel1 and Imd‐Rel2 pathways, and the different expression patterns in two different Anopheline cell lines provide a platform to identify other key positive and negative regulators of the antimicrobial peptide genes.

Plant Defense Networks against Insect-Borne Pathogens.
TL;DR: Research is highlighted that sheds light on how plants deploy broad-spectrum mechanisms against both vector-borne pathogens and insect vectors, and the potential for genome editing or chemical modulators to fine-tune crop defensive signaling.
