Identification and characterization of novel cecropins from the Oxysternon conspicillatum neotropic dung beetle

Dung beetles are exposed to a complex microbiological ecosystem during their life cycle. Characterization of novel host-defense peptides (HDP) is essential to understanding the host innate immune response in insects. It constitutes a promising alternative to look for new therapeutic agents against p...
