Figure 1. The relationship between trypanosome prevalence in the midgut and the age of the teneral fly.

Figure 1

Male and female tsetse aged 24 h.p.e (black bars) and 48 h.p.e (grey bars) were offered a bloodmeal containing trypanosome parasites. Panel A shows the midgut infection prevalence of teneral G. m. morsitans infected upon the first bloodmeal with T. b. brucei TSW196 BSF; Panel B represents teneral G. p. palpalis infected with T. b. brucei TSW196 BSF; Panel C corresponds to teneral G. m. morsitans infected with T. congolense 1/148 BSF. The white numbers within the bars indicate the total number of flies dissected from three replicate experiments.
