Figure 1.
(A) Survival rate of G. mellonella infected with A. fumigatus (CM-237) or A. lentulus (CM-1290) (105 spores/larvae). Control group (dotted line) represent survival of larvae inoculated with saline only. (B) Histopathology of G. mellonella infected with A. fumigatus and A. lentulus, at different times points of the infection (Day +2 and +4). 20 x magnification, PAS stained. Differences between the A. fumigatus and A. lentulus infection pattern: larvae showed branched invasive hyphal growth of A. fumigatus (steady arrows) while A. lentulus was encapsulated by immune cells (dash arrows).
