Proteins increased in relative abundance in larvae 6 h after infection with 1 × 106 conidia versus non-infected larvae were gustatory receptor candidate 25 (37 fold), gloverin-like protein (14 fold), cecropin-A (11 fold), lysozyme (5 fold), moricin-like peptide B (4 fold), muscle protein 20-like protein (3 fold), peptidoglycan recognition-like protein B (3 fold) and prophenoloxidase activating enzyme 3 (2 fold). This evidence concerns the gene LYZ and infection.
