Involvement of transglutaminases in the heart-associated immune responses of mosquitoes

The immune and circulatory systems of insects work in concert to fight infection. Specifically, an infection induces the migration of hemocytes to the heart, where they phagocytose and kill pathogens in areas of high hemolymph flow. Here, we will present data showing the involvement of transglutaminases in the functional integration between the immune and circulatory systems of mosquitoes.
