Fig. 3 in Outcome of within-host competition demonstrates that parasite virulence doesn't equal success in a myxozoan model system

Fig. 3. Parasite copy number, as a measure of parasite competition in mixed-genotype treatments, in a) gill tissue sampled at 7d (t7), b) gill tissue sampled at 14d (t14) c) intestinal tissue sampled at 7d, and d) intestinal tissue sampled at 14d. Black bars denote genotype-I only, white denote genotype-II only, and grey denote mixedgenotype treatments. Inset striped grey bars represent total genotype I copy numbers, based on the proportion of genotype I in sequenced DNA samples (genotype II comprises the remainderthe solid grey bar). Letters indicate treatments that differed (Tukey's HSD tests, α = 0.05). Total number of genotype-I (black circles) and genotype-II (white circles) myxospores produced per actinospore, as a measure of parasite success in fish overlaid on parasite copy number in intestinal tissue sampled at 14d.
