The role of adipokinetic hormone (AKH) in the firebug Pyrrhocoris apterus adults infected by the entomopathogenic nematode (EPN) Steinernema carpocapsae was examined in this study. It was found that co-application of EPN and AKH enhanced firebug mortality about 2.5 times within 24 hours and resulted in metabolism intensification. Accordingly, firebugs with reduced expression of AKH receptors showed a significantly lower mortality, and lower general metabolism after EPN+AKH treatments. In addition, EPN application increased Akh gene expression in the corpora cardiaca (CC), AKH level in the CC and haemolymph, and lipid and carbohydrate amounts in the haemolymph. Thus, the outcomes of the present study demonstrate involvement of AKH into the anti-stress reaction elicited by the nematobacterial infection.
