A histological procedure to study fungal infection in the wax moth Galleria mellonella. [PDF]
Eur J Histochem, 2014 The invertebrate model Galleria mellonella is a widely used factitious host to study the microbial pathogenesis in vivo. However, a specific procedure for the recovery and the processing of the infected tissues, important for a better understanding of the host-pathogen interactions, has not been reported to our knowledge.
