Aspergillus flavus was not significantly more virulent than related nonpathogenic species in an invertebrate model of fungal disease. Cumulative survival of Galleria mellonella larvae inoculated with 1 × 104 asexual spores (conidia) of an Aspergillus strain or a PBS control. (A) Survival for larvae inoculated with either A. flavus NRRL 1957 or NRRL 501. All pairwise comparisons between the two strains and the control group were statistically significant. (B) Survival for larvae inoculated with either A. parasiticus NRRL 2999 or NRRL 502. A. parasiticus NRRL 2999 was not statistically different from the control group, but NRRL 502 was statistically different from both the control and NRRL 2999. (C) Survival for larvae inoculated with either A. arachidicola IC26645 or IC26646. All pairwise comparisons between the two strains and the control group were statistically significant. (D) Survival for larvae inoculated with A. nomiae NRRL 6108. Survival of NRRL 6108 was statistically different from the control survival.
