"The proposed research is to select and set up a battery of biomarkers to be applied on the wax moth (Galleria mellonella) as an environmental indicator for assessing the toxicity of cadmium-contaminated areas. This insect specie is traditionally used as a model in many biological and ecological studies because of its easiness breeding in laboratory, repeated generations during the year and its plasticity for developing and optimizing eco-toxicological assays. It is reasonable that multiple bioassays may provide more reliable data to evaluate simultaneously the effects of the environmental conditions on several biological parameters avoiding false positive/negative results. We suppose that antioxidant and detoxification systems play an important role in the defense mechanisms against cadmium and other xenobiotics which endogenously produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) in several insects."@en . .
