Temporospatial modulation of Lymantria dispar immune system against an entomopathogenic fungal infection.

Our study provides a comprehensive sequence resource and crucial new insights about an economically important forest pest. Specifically, we elucidate the complicated multipartite interaction between host and fungal pathogen and contribute to a better understanding of Lymantria dispar anti-fungal immunity, resulting in better tools for biological pest control. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.
