Fig 5. Trypanosoma rangeli infection increases locomotion of Rhodnius prolixus.

T. rangeli-infected and uninfected R. prolixus nymphs were individually placed inside actometer units and their movements were recorded for 6 days. White and grey areas depict the photophase and scotophase, respectively. Data are presented as the square root of the mean locomotory activity of six replicate runs (n = 108 insects for each treatment).
