Cryptococcus neoformans: (H99W) was serially passaged in the invertebrate wax moth Galleria mellonella fifteen times to study how fungal virulence evolves under selection and whether those adaptations affect virulence. The G. mellonella passaged strain (P15) and the pre-passage H99W strains were used to infect three different host models of C. neoformans: C. elegans, G. mellonella, and Balb/c mice. While there...
