Events resulting in the formation of a multilayered cellular sheath surrounding an invader and thus preventing its development. This defense mechanism is often seen in insects in response to nematodes or parasitoids, which are too large to be phagocytosed by individual hemocytes. In some organisms the capsule is blackened due to melanization. Any immune system process that functions in the calibrated response of an organism to a potential internal or invasive threat. Any process of the immune system that occurs as part of an immune response. Formation of a multilayered, melanized sheath of cells around a foreign invader. Any process involved in the development or functioning of the immune system, an organismal system for calibrated responses to potential internal or invasive threats.
