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...

Antibacterial 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...

Mass Producing Eggs of the Greater Wax Moth, Galleria mellonella (L.)

Polyphosphates excreted by wax-moth larvae (Galleria mellonella L. and Achroia grisella Fabr).

Legionella pneumophila pathogenesis in the Galleria mellonella infection model.

Legionella pneumophila is a facultative intracellular human pathogen and the etiological agent of severe pneumonia known as Legionnaires' disease. Its virulence depends on protein secretion systems, in particular, the Dot/Icm type IV secretion system (T4SS), which is essential to establish a replication-permissive vacuole in macrophages. The analysis of the role of these systems and their subst...
