Abstract
Galleria mellonella larvae are a popular and simple model organism for infectious disease research. Last instar larvae can be purchased inexpensively from commercial suppliers and infected with Cryptococcus. Injection into the proleg of larvae results in systemic infections. Larvae may then be monitored for survival or homogenized to determine fungal burden. Fixation of infected larvae produces samples suitable for histological staining and analysis.
