Effect of Hymenolepis diminuta infection in intact females or fat-body culture with live H. diminuta parasites on Vg mRNA abundance in T. molitor. (A) Relative abundance of Vg mRNA for non-infected (open bars) and infected (hatched bars) T. molitor at various days post-emergence. Vg mRNA abundance was determined from the fat bodies of four individuals and significant differences between control and infected beetles are identified with an asterisk. (B) Relative Vg mRNA abundance in fat body tissue from non-infected T. molitor incubated in vitro with either 10 stage I–II parasites, 10 stage V–VI parasites or incubation medium alone (control). Vg mRNA abundance was determined independently from the fat bodies of six individuals and the bars represent the mean abundance ± standard error. Significant differences are represented by different letters, such that a vs. b corresponds to a probability of P < 0.05.
