Developing Galleria mellonella as a model host for human pathogens
The number of studies using G. mellonella as a model host for human pathogens has increased significantly in the last few years. Important studies were published from different countries for evaluating the pathogenesis of bacterial and fungal infections and for exploring the host defenses against pathogens. Therefore, standardized conditions for the use of G. melonella larvae need to be establi...
متن کاملHost Immune Responses Against Pulmonary Fungal Pathogens
The lungs are a gateway for numerous airborne pathogens that are ubiquitous in our environment. Among these potential pathogens are fungi that can be found in the soil, bird excreta, air ducts, and many other places where their contact is unavoidable. Exposure to these fungal pathogens oftentimes goes unnoticed due to the activation of our robust immune systems which sequester and control these...
متن کاملLactobacillus paracasei modulates the immune system of Galleria mellonella and protects against Candida albicans infection
Probiotics have been described as a potential strategy to control opportunistic infections due to their ability to stimulate the immune system. Using the non-vertebrate model host Galleria mellonella, we evaluated whether clinical isolates of Lactobacillus spp. are able to provide protection against Candida albicans infection. Among different strains of Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus rh...
متن کاملNew 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 کاملOP 4 . 1 The involvement of protein kinase A in humoral immune response of Galleria mellonella
The major challenges which plants have to withstand is osmotic stress (caused by drought, high and low temperature and high salinity), and wounding (caused by mechanical damage, f. ex. wind or herbivorous). Plant cells respond to these abiotic stresses by a multi-component defense strategy. Several families of protein kinases are involved in plant stress signaling. Among them are members of mit...
