New to Galleria mellonella
EditoriAL Pathogens and their respective hosts interact closely leading to the host–pathogen framework response that could result in different outcomes that range from pathogen elimination to death of the host. To improve our ability to propose new measures that promote pathogen elimination and prevent host death, we need to have a comprehensive understanding of this interaction. Generally , mo...
متن کاملAntibacterial peptides of the moth Galleria mellonella.
The work describes purification and biochemical characterization of two inducible antimicrobial peptides from the hemolymph of Galleria mellonella. The peptides were isolated by a sequence of reversed-phase chromatography steps from the hemolymph of larvae immunized with viable bacteria. The first peptide is a member of the cecropin family while the second one is rich in proline residues and ha...
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 کاملGenome Sequence of Galleria mellonella (Greater Wax Moth)
The larvae of the greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella, are pests of active beehives. In infection biology, these larvae are playing a more and more attractive role as an invertebrate host model. Here, we report on the first genome sequence of Galleria mellonella.
متن کاملThe effect of Galleria mellonella hemolymph polypeptides on Legionella gormanii.
Among Legionella species, which are recognized to be pathogenic for humans, L. gormanii is the second prevalent causative agent of community-acquired pneumonia after L. pneumophila. Anti-L. gormanii activity of Galleria mellonella hemolymph extract and apolipophorin III (apoLp-III) was examined. The extract and apoLp-III at the concentration 0.025 mg/ml caused 75% and 10% decrease of the bacter...
