A Madurella mycetomatis Grain Model in Galleria mellonella Larvae
Eumycetoma is a chronic granulomatous subcutaneous infectious disease, endemic in tropical and subtropical regions and most commonly caused by the fungus Madurella mycetomatis. Interestingly, although grain formation is key in mycetoma, its formation process and its susceptibility towards antifungal agents are not well understood. This is because grain formation cannot be induced in vitro; a ma...
متن کاملA Histopathological Exploration of the Madurella mycetomatis Grain
Although the Madurella mycetomatis grains seem to interfere with the host defense mechanisms and impede the antifungal drugs penetration, yet their histological features are not fully known and hence this study was set out to determine that. The study included 80 patients with confirmed M. mycetomatis eumycetoma. After informed written consent, surgical biopsies were obtained from the excised t...
متن کاملSome effects of x-irradiation on larvae of Galleria mellonella.
During the summer of 1965, the fungus Spicaria rileyi was frequently associated with dead Pseudoplusia includens larvae on various crops in southeastern Alabama. Since this insect, sometimes referred to as the false looper, has become of increasing economic importance in Alabama (Canerday, J. Econ. Entomol., in press, 1966), the pathogenicity and potential control value of S. rileyi for P. k&de...
متن کاملGalleria mellonella larvae as an infection model for group A streptococcus
Group A streptococcus is a strict human pathogen that can cause a wide range of diseases, such as tonsillitis, impetigo, necrotizing fasciitis, toxic shock, and acute rheumatic fever. Modeling human diseases in animals is complicated, and rapid, simple, and cost-effective in vivo models of GAS infection are clearly lacking. Recently, the use of non-mammalian models to model human disease is sta...
متن کاملThe Galleria mellonella larvae as an in vivo model for evaluation of Shigella virulence
Shigella spp. causing bacterial diarrhea and dysentery are human enteroinvasive bacterial pathogens that are orally transmitted through contaminated food and water and cause bacillary dysentery. Although natural Shigella infections are restricted to humans and primates, several smaller animal models are used to analyze individual steps in pathogenesis. No animal model fully duplicates the human...
