A Madurella mycetomatis Grain Model in Galleria mellonella Larvae
Fig 2
Survival of Galleria mellonella larvae infected with Madurella mycetomatis.
In panel A, the survival curves of the control larvae are shown. For each experiment three different controls were used: untouched larvae, larvae only pricked by the needle and larvae injected with PBS. As is seen in this panel, high survival was obtained for all control groups. In panel B, the survival of larvae infected with 0.04, 0.4 and 4 mg mm55 are shown. More than 90% of the larvae survived when they were infected with only 0.04 mg mm55, no larvae survived when they were infected with 4 mg mm55. In panel C, the results for strain mm68 are shown. As is seen in this graph, when larvae were infected with 4 mg mm68, still some survival is noted. In panel D, the survival of larvae infected with 0.04, 0.4 and 4 mg cn796 are shown. Again at the highest inoculum all larvae died.
