Background: Recent application of molecular-based technologies has considerably advanced our understanding of complex processes in plant-pathogen interactions and their key components such as PAMPs, PRRs, effectors and R-genes. To develop novel control strategies for disease prevention in citrus, it is essential to expand and consolidate our knowledge of the molecular interaction of citrus plants with their pathogens.
Scope: This review provides an overview of our understanding of citrus plant immunity, focusing on the molecular mechanisms involved in the interactions with viruses, bacteria, fungi, oomycetes and vectors related to the following diseases: tristeza, psorosis, citrus variegated chlorosis, citrus canker, huanglongbing, brown spot, post-bloom, anthracnose, gummosis and citrus root rot.

Sepsis (sepsis) is a systemic inflammatory response triggered by infection, and its pathologic features include overproduction of peripheral inflammatory factors (e.g., IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α), which ultimately leads to cytokine storm and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS).

The article characterises platelets, pointing out the role and contribution of their numerous receptors determining their specific and broad immune activity. Three types of platelet receptors are described, that is, extracellular and intracellular receptors-TLR (toll-like receptors), NLR (NOD-like receptor), and RLR (RIG-I-like receptor); extracellular receptors-selectins and integrins; and their other extracellular receptors-CLR (C-type lectin receptor), CD (cluster of differentiation), TNF (tumour necrosis factor), among others. Outlining the contribution of these numerous platelet receptors to the intravascular immunity, it has been shown that they are formed by their fusion with pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), and lifestyle-associated molecular patterns (LAMPs).

Background: Dogs are definitive hosts of , with the small intestine being the only site of parasitic infections. However, the immunomodulatory processes that occur during interactions between and its definitive host remain unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate gene transcription patterns in canine small intestinal epithelial cells (CIECs) following stimulation by protoscoleces (PSCs).

Disease vectors, such as arthropods, primarily rely on innate immunity to counteract pathogen invasions, typically through the recognition and binding of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) by the host's pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). As a conserved immune effector gene family from insects to mammals, the complement system may play an essential role in combating pathogenic microorganisms. In arthropods, the complement proteins are often referred to as thioester-containing proteins (TEPs) because thioester motifs are one of the essential functional domains of the first proteins characterized within the C3 and AM family.

Article Synopsis
- This study identified a new short-type peptidoglycan recognition protein (PGRP), termed AjPGRP-S2, from the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus, which plays a role in innate immunity.
- AjPGRP-S2 is an extracellular protein with a signal peptide, a zinc binding site, and was shown to exhibit amidase activity while being highly expressed in coelomocytes and tube feet.
- The research suggests that AjPGRP-S2 binds to various pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and is involved in signaling immune responses, potentially linking to broader immune functions like cell adhesion and apoptosis.
