Establishing Galleria mellonella, the larvae of the greater wax moth, as a model for mycobacterial infections to assess existing and novel treatment

2020-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Galleria mellonella, the larvae of the greater wax moth, are cheap, practical and readily-available organisms which can be utilised for a comprehensive range of experimental protocols. They are valuable in vivo intermediaries between in vitro studies and models which require greater investments of time, equipment, and ethical approval. Larvae exhibit cellular and humoral immune responses with structural and functi...
