Needle-like penises evolve immune organ

[LabRat]

Reported in the media as a hope for malaria cures, it has been discovered that female bed bugs have developed a whole immune organ in response to the violent sexual practices indulged in by male bed bugs. Male bed bugs have needle-like penises and instead of introducing one sex organ into the other, the male bed bug instead stabs his penis straight into the abdomen of the female bed bug, essentially, wounding her in order to inseminate her. This method of reproduction is filled with risk of infection and with female bed bugs suffering a far higher mortality rate than male bed bugs, over time, they evolved an immune organ. Quite how this immune organ is intended as a cure for malaria has been clouded over in media reports but the synthesising or indeed harvesting of immune organs may well provide some kind of resistance against zombie infection. However, research is in early stages and my team are preoccupied with other lines of investigation. I will be following this with interest though.
