Abstract
ABSTRACTThe larvae of the greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella, are pests of active beehives. In infection biology, these larvae are playing a more and more attractive role as an invertebrate host model. Here, we report on the first genome sequence of Galleria mellonella.

We report on the first genome sequence of Galleria mellonella
As an invertebrate host model, it is used to study the virulence of different pathogens, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) (2), Listeria monocytogenes (3), and Candida spp. (4)
Summary
A ubiquitous pest of beehives, the greater wax moth causes severe damage due to its destructive way of feeding (1). The larvae of the greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella, are pests of active beehives. These larvae are playing a more and more attractive role as an invertebrate host model.
