The Virtuous <i>Galleria mellonella</i> Model for Scientific Experimentation

The Virtuous <i>Galleria mellonella</i> Model for Scientific Experimentation

The first research on the insect <i>Galleria mellonella</i> was published 85 years ago, and the larva is now widely used as a model to study infections caused by bacterial and fungal pathogens, for screening new antimicrobials, to study the adjacent immune response in co-infections or in...
