Relationship between nictation and attachment to the laboratory host G. mellonella for two nictation-defective mutant strains (tu426 in solid squares, and tu427 in open triangles), the reference laboratory strain (PS312 shown in crosses) and two recently isolated strains of la Réunion island (RS5401 in open circles, and RS5386 in open rhombi) in two different dauer concentrations assays: (a) total dauers on plate n = 1000. Correlation coefficient r = 0.87, and coefficient of determination r2 = 0.76. (b) Total dauers on plate n = 5000. Correlation coefficient r = 0.90, and coefficient of determination r2 = 0.80.
