Oral immune priming with Bacillus thuringiensis induces a shift in the gene expression of Tribolium castaneum larvae

Abstract Background The phenomenon of immune priming, i.e. enhanced protection following a secondary exposure to a pathogen, has now been demonstrated in a wide range of invertebrate species. Despite accumulating phenotypic evidence, knowledge of its mechanistic underpinnings is currently very limit...
