abstract Galleria mellonella (greater wax moth or honeycomb moth) has been introduced as
an alternative model to study microbial infections. G. mellonella larvae can be easily and …

The insect immune response demonstrates many similarities to the innate immune response
of mammals and a wide range of insects is now employed to assess the virulence of …

The cellular formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) represents an evolutionary ancient
antimicrobial defense system against microorganisms. The NADPH oxidases (NOX), which …

The insect immune response demonstrates a number of structural and functional similarities
to the innate immune system of mammals. As a result of these conserved features insects …

The use of invertebrates for in vivo studies in microbiology is well established in the scientific
community. Larvae of Galleria mellonella are a widely used model for studying …

In many aspects, the immune response against pathogens in insects is similar to the innate
immunity in mammals. This has caused a strong interest in the scientific community for the …

The immune system of insects and the innate immune response of mammals share many
similarities and, as a result, insects may be used to assess the virulence of fungal pathogens …

Abstract Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are used in many applications; however, their
interactions with cells, immune cells in particular, and potential health risk (s) are not fully …

The morbidity, mortality and economic burden associated with fungal infections, together
with the emergence of fungal strains resistant to current antimicrobial agents, necessitate …

Many cystic fibrosis (CF) airway infections are considered to be polymicrobial and microbe–
microbe interactions may play an important role in disease pathology. Pseudomonas …
