Fig 1 in Phlebotomine Sandflies - Potential Vectors of Avian Trypanosomes

Fig 1. Infection rates and intensities in sandflies L. longipalpis and P. arabicus membrane-fed on Trypanosoma avium strains BUT15 and SIM3, and on canaries. Infection intensities: low – 1–100 parasites; medium – 100–1000 parasites; heavy –> 1000 parasites per gut. Numbers of dissected females shown above the columns. Data from repeated experimental feeding of L. longipalpis on SIM3 are pooled. Sandflies fed on membrane were dissected after 8 days, L. longipalpis fed on canaries were dissected 7–10 days after feeding.
