The cane toad (Rhinella marina) is an invasive amphibian in several parts of the world.
Much of the research performed on assessing the dispersal potential of invasive species has
focused immunity. Invaders are predicted to rely less on pro-inflammatory immunity, allowing
them to allocate energy to dispersal. Elevated stress may play a role in regulation of immune
responses used by invasive species. RNA sequencing of spleen tissue from cane toads
subjected to an acute LPS challenge revealed genes coding for cytokines involved in typical …
