The invertebrate model, Galleria mellonella, has been widely used to study host–pathogen
interactions due to its cheapness, ease of handling, and similar mammalian innate immune …

Galleria mellonella larvae have become a widely accepted and utilised infection model due
to the functional homology displayed between their immune response to infection and that …

One group of promising pest control agents are the entomopathogenic fungi; one such
example is Conidiobolus coronatus, which produces a range of metabolites. Our present …

The invertebrate Galleria mellonella has increasingly and widely been used in the last few
years to study complex host–microbe interactions. Aspergillus fumigatus is one of the most …

Galleria mellonella larvae have been increasingly used in research, including microbial
infection studies. They act as suitable preliminary infection models to study host-pathogen …

The compound negative impact of insect pests attacking agricultural ecosystems includes (i)
direct yield losses from damaged crops,(ii) the economic cost of the attempt to prevent these …
