Natural parasitism of greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella Linnaeus larvae by Apanteles galleriae Wilkinson in Madurai district, Tamil Nadu

Genome 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.

Immunity of the greater wax moth Galleria mellonella.

Investigation of insect immune mechanisms provides important information concerning innate immunity, which in many aspects is conserved in animals. This is one of the reasons why insects serve as model organisms to study virulence mechanisms of human pathogens. From the evolutionary point of view, we also learn a lot about host-pathogen interaction and adaptation of organisms to conditions of l...

Pathogenecity of Two Beauveria Bassiana Indigenous Isolates towards the Greater Wax Moth Galleria Mellonella L. Larvae in Egypt

Bioassays were carried out in the laboratory to determine the virulence of two Beauveria bassiana indigenous isolates on the greater wax moth Galleria mellonella. LC50 and LT50 values were taken as indices for the efficacy of fungal isolates, designated as Bb1 and Bb2, collected from Ismailia governorate in Egypt and isolated from soil and trap larvae of G. mellonella, respectively. The larvae ...
