Low dose γ-radiation induced effects on wax moth (Galleria mellonella) larvae [PDF]
, 2023 Larvae of the greater wax moth Galleria mellonella are common pests of beehives and commercial apiaries, and in more applied settings, these insects act as alternative in vivo bioassays to rodents for studying microbial virulence, antibiotic development,

Metamorphosis of Galleria mellonella research [PDF]
Virulence, 2015 Recently, non-vertebrate hosts, such as amoeba, nematodes, and insects have been explored as alternatives to rodents in infectious disease research.1,2 In particular, the popularity of the waxmoth Galleria mellonella as a model host has surged. A search of PubMed for articles with “Galleria mellonella” in the title or abstract reveals of list of over ...

Galleria mellonella as a Good Model to Study Acinetobacter baumannii Pathogenesis
Pathogens, 2021 The invertebrate model, Galleria mellonella, has been widely used to study host–pathogen interactions due to its cheapness, ease of handling, and similar mammalian innate immune system. G.
