Differences in infection patterns between dead and living larvae by histopathology (PAS staining in upper images) and microscopy of hemolymph (in lower images) of G. mellonella. A–B: Larvae infected with Cladophialophora carrionii (CBS 861.96, envir.) at a dose of 105 conidia / larva at day 10 post infection, In upper images; A living larvae;a few oenocytes present at fat body, magnification 40×; B dead larvae, oenocytes produced a lot at fat body, magnification 40×. C–D. Larvae infected with C. carrionii (CBS 117900, clin.) at a dose of 105 conidia/larva at day 10 post infection; C living larvae; nodule formations contained conidia mainly and showed a tropism for tracheal system,magnification 40×, D dead larvae, hyphae were produced in significantly larger amounts, and showed a tropism for the intestinal tract, magnification 20×. In lower images: A–D, magnification 40×, hemolymph. Arrows indicated hemocytes /oenocytes /conidia/hyphae. Scale bar, 500 µm
