[The concentration of trehalose and acitvity of trehalase from Galleria mellonella larvae infected by Steinernema affinis, Bovien 1937 (Nematoda: Rhabditida: Steinernematidae)].
The experimental studies were conducted on caterpillars of wax moth Galleria mellonella infected with Steinernema affinis larvae. The concentration of trehalose and the activity of trehalase were measured during the invasion lasting 48h. The level of trehalose and activity of enzyme were slightly lower in infected insects in comparison to the control animals.
