Histopathology with PAS staining (upper images A–D) and microscopy (lower images A–D) with hemolymph of G. mellonella. Larvae infected with Cladophialophora carrionii (clin., CBS 117900) at a dose of 105 CFU per larva, incubated at 37 °C. A at day 1; B at day 3; C. at day 7; D at day 10, post infection respectively. A–D from dead larvae. In upper images: A–C, fat body, magnification 40×, Nodule formations contained conidia and hyphae, and usually isolated into in the fat body; D digestive tract, magnification 20×, The fungus showed a tropism for the intestinal tract; the presence of hyphae around the intestinal tract; In lower images: A–D, magnification 20×, hemolymph. Arrows indicated conidia/hyphae. Scale bar, 500 µm
