“…The humoral response includes production of various compounds, such as eicosanoids, phenoloxidases, proteinases, proteinase inhibitors and a wide selection of antimicrobial peptides and proteins (Jiang, 2008;Beckage, 2008). The list of the protective compounds also includes Vgs, whose involvement in insect defense systems has recently been described in several insect species (Havukainen et al, 2013;Singh et al, 2013;Salmela et al, 2015;Salmela and Sundstrom, 2017;Park et al, 2018). We have found in this study that in the firebug P. apterus, Vg is probably also involved in the defense reaction against the entomopathogenic nematode S. carpocapsae and, partially, against the fungus I. fumosorosea.…”

“…Possible reasons for this phenomenon were discussed above. In addition, an active involvement of Vg in the defense reaction of A. mellifera against the entomopathogenic fungus B. bassiana was recently described by Park et al (2018), who demonstrated that Vg behaves as a typical antimicrobial peptide. Apis mellifera Vg bound to B. bassiana cells and induced structural damage of the cell wall leading to anti-microbial activity against the fungus.…”
