- Invertebrate Animal Models as Tools to Study Fungal Pathogenesis and Treatment
  
  in The Journal of Invasive Fungal Infections (Volume 4 Issue 4 / Leading Articles)

  The use of invertebrate model hosts to study infection has seen considerable growth over the last few years. Invertebrates such as Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila melanogaster, and Galleria mellonella hold promise for the detailed study of host–pathogen interactions. In particular, these models facilitate the characterization of genes that contribute to virulence and thus could be used to identify virulence factors.

  The aspergilli are associated with several human diseases, including invasive infections and various allergic conditions. Aspergillus spores are ubiquitous in the environment and have been found to reside in the human oral cavity in up to one-third of healthy individuals; however, diseases caused by these species occur only rarely – mostly in immunocompromised individuals.
