Hemocyte profile, phagocytosis, and antibacterial activity in response to immune challenge of the date fruit stalk borer, Oryctes elegans

The date fruit stalk borer, Oryctes elegans Prell, is a destructive pest on date palms in Saudi Arabia. We evaluated the immune response of the third instars (last instars), by the intrahemocoelic injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (a pathogen-associated molecular peptide, PAMP), which significan...
