Schematic model of the effects of S. feltiae after penetration in insect host. Cuticle compounds remove host humoral factor, inducing immune evasion and depression; particularly, the specific interaction of cuticle lipids results in a selective subtraction of host PRRs (HiPs) leading to a general immune suppression. In addition, the coating of the parasite with host compounds is responsible of its mimicry properties.
