If all individual flies were observed to contain Wolbachia within the tissue of interest, a score of 100% was recorded. Where only some individual flies contained Wolbachia within the tissue of interest, the percentage of flies that contained Wolbachia was recorded. Numbers in parentheses indicate how many individual flies were observed. Percentages do not reflect the Wolbachiaquantity observed within tissues.
