1. Number of Columns/Variables: 39 2. Number of Rows/Cases: 288 3. Variable List: A. Name:Treatment Type [Column A] Description: The method of introduction of A.apicola into the G.mellonella model was either [Injected] through the last left abdominal proleg or [Force-fed]. B.Name: Dose [Column B] Description:The approximate dose administered to each larvae in colony forming units, estimated by serial dilution plate counts. C.Name: Individual [Column C] Description: The individual larva number within the entire cohort, included for ease of reference to specific individuals. D.Name: Survival Status [Columns D-L] Description: Larvae were scored each day for survival: 0= alive, 1= dead, c= censored. Larvae in the [Injected] treatment group were only monitored for 7 days so were considered to be censored on the 8th day, unlike the [Force-fed] treatment group. E.Name: Infection Status [Columns M-U] Description: Larvae were scored each day for infection: 0= uninfected, 1= infected, c= censored. Larvae in the [Injected] treatment group were only monitored for 7 days so were considered to be censored on the 8th day, unlike the [Force-fed] treatment group. F.Name: Melanisation Status [Columns V-AD] Description: Larvae were scored each day for melanistaion: 0= unmelanised, 1= melanised, c= censored. Larvae in the [Injected] treatment group were only monitored for 7 days so were considered to be censored on the 8th day, unlike the [Force-fed] treatment group. Melanised status allocated where melanisation was scored at 2 or more according to scoring criteria of Kay et al 2019 Frontiers in Microbiology 10: 1281.. G.Name: Pupation Status [Columns AE-AM] Description: Larvae were scored each day for pupation: 0= unpupated, 1= pupated, c= censored. Larvae in the [Injected] treatment group were only monitored for 7 days so were considered to be censored on the 8th day, unlike the [Force-fed] treatment group.
