Misuse and overuse of antibiotics have contributed in the last decades to a phenomenon
known as antibiotic resistance which is currently considered one of the principal threats to …

Insects are one of the major sources of antimicrobial peptides/proteins (AMPs). Since
observation of antimicrobial activity in the hemolymph of pupae from the giant silk moths …

The growing demand worldwide for proteins and lipids cannot be met by the intensive use of
agricultural land currently available. Insect mass cultures as a source for proteins and lipids …

The alarming escalation of infectious diseases resistant to conventional antibiotics requires
urgent global actions, including the development of new therapeutics. Antimicrobial peptides …

Gene‐encoded anti‐microbial peptides (AMPs) are widespread in nature, as they are
synthesized by microorganisms as well as by multicellular organisms from both the vegetal …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) attracted attention as potential source of novel antimicrobials.
Multi-drug resistant (MDR) infections have emerged as a global threat to public health in …

▪ Abstract Evolutionary ecology seeks to understand the selective reasons for the design
features of the immune defense, especially with respect to parasitism. The molecular …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are part of the armament that insects have developed to fight
off pathogens. Insect AMPs are typically cationic and often made of less than 100 amino acid …

Antimicrobial peptides from a wide spectrum of insects possess potent microbicidal
properties against microbial-related diseases. In this study, seven new gene fragments of …
