Occurrence of Food Chemical Contaminants in Entomophagy: Implications for Food Safety and Future Risk Assessment—A Scoping Review

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Entomophagy is increasingly recognized as a sustainable alternative to conventional protein sources due to its low environmental impact. However, ensuring its safety requires careful evaluation of chemical contaminants of food safety concern.

Molecular Cloning and Expression Profiling of a c‐Jun N‐Terminal Kinase (TmJNK) in Response to Microbial Challenge in Tenebrio molitor

Entomological Research, Volume 56, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Insects exclusively utilize their innate immunity to combat various types of microbial infections. As a part of conserved signaling pathways of innate immunity, the c‐Jun N‐terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway is engaged in the regulation of various stresses, development, and immunity. However, the roles of JNK signaling pathway in Tenebrio

A Lytic Bacteriophage Cocktail Attenuates Carbapenem‐Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae–Acinetobacter baumannii Mixed‐Species Biofilms and Reshapes Transcriptional Responses

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 9, September 2026.
A lytic phage cocktail targeting CRKP–CRAB mixed biofilms was systematically evaluated through in vitro, device‐associated, and in vivo models. Integrated transcriptomic analysis revealed molecular responses underlying biofilm disruption, providing mechanistic insights and experimental evidence supporting phage cocktails as a promising strategy against

Immune Response of Galleria mellonella against Human Fungal Pathogens

Journal of Fungi, 2018
In many aspects, the immune response against pathogens in insects is similar to the innate immunity in mammals. This has caused a strong interest in the scientific community for the use of this model in research of host–pathogen interactions.

Refined methodology for quantifying Pseudomonas aeruginosa virulence using Galleria mellonella

Microbiology Spectrum
Larvae of Galleria mellonella (the greater wax moth) are being increasingly used as a model to study microbial pathogenesis. In this model, bacterial virulence is typically measured by determining the 50% lethal dose (LD50) of a bacterial strain or ...

Fibrillogenesis in the wax-moth, Galleria mellonella [PDF]

Journal of Cell Science, 1964
ABSTRACT The fibroblasts of the pupa are characterized by the great development of the endoplasmic reticulum, which becomes dilated to form vesicles containing a rather electron-dense material which is thought to be a precursor of the collagen fibrils.

The entomopathogenic nematode Heterorhabditis megidis: host searching behaviour, infectivity and reproduction [PDF]

, 2001
Entomopathogenic nematodes in the families Heterorhabditidae and Steinernematidae have considerable potential as biological control agents of soil-inhabiting insect pests.
