i5K Comments for Galleria mellonella
The larvae of the greater wax moth (Galleria mellonella) are increasingly used as mini-hosts to study pathogenesis and virulence factors of prominent bacterial and fungal human pathogens, as a whole-animal high throughput infection system for testing pathogen mutant libraries, and as a reliable host model to evaluate the efficacy of antibiotics against human pathogens. Furthermore, the unusual environment of the Greater wax moth, beehives, and its basal phylogenetic position would make it a promising model for comparisons with moths and butterflies which exploit different food sources and have a different phylogenetic position within Lepidoptera.
