Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Shambhavi P Hungund"
- Shambhavi P Hungund's recent research primarily focuses on the immune response of the silkworm Bombyx mori when infested by the dipteran endoparasitoid Exorista bombycis, exploring mechanisms of immune suppression and oxidative stress.
- A key finding highlights that E. bombycis can induce significant cytotoxic reactions and immune responses in B. mori, while also utilizing anti-immune components to evade host defenses, leading to detrimental effects on sericulture.
- The studies also reveal that E. bombycis triggers both pro-oxidative and anti-oxidative enzymatic responses in the silkworm, elucidating the complex interplay between parasitism and host immune reactions, which remains less understood compared to hymenopteran parasitoids.
