Note: yes—presence of a sign; no—absence of a sign; yes/no—sign detected in individual species; “?”—no reliable data on the phenomenon as a whole, but individual manifestations are possible; PRR—pattern recognition receptors; Ig—immunoglobulin; SIR—systemic inflammatory response; NES—neuroendocrine system; 1—e.g., parasite encapsulation [310]; 2—separation of lymph and blood; 3—the absence of a system of microcirculatory units; 4—in the most evolutionarily developed fish [333]; 5—only in mammals, complement anaphylatoxins (C3a and C5a) are formed in the liquid phase of the blood, for example, under the influence of hemostasis factors (XIIa, plasmin and thrombin) [334]; 6—only mammals have an extrinsic pathway for hemostasis activation (associated with the appearance of binding factor XI in them), and there are significantly fewer triggering factors (V, VII, and a soluble form of tissue factor) in plasma in birds than in mammals [335]; 7—in some invertebrates, some cytokine-like factors may be detected in hemolymph and other tissues, but there is no developed cytokine network; 8—DTH in birds is associated with the presence of high-affinity Fc receptors to IgY (FcυR) on mast cells [336], but DTH is significantly slower in birds than in mammals; 9—in this case, systemic inflammation is seen as a general pathological process with a systemic ‘inflammatory microcirculation’ phenomenon, not as a synonym for SIR; 10—according to the theory of G. Selye [337,338].
