Treatment | Infected/ total # flies | Maturation | P values | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Midgut glands | Salivary gland rate | Midgut glands | Salivary gland rate | ||
Non-irradiated | 11/61 | 9/61 | 0.82 | – | – |
Irradiated | 3/50 | 3/50 | 1 | 0.0839 | 0.219 |
p values were obtained by comparing the infection prevalence of the irradiated group to the infection prevalence of non-treated control flies using a two-sided Fisher’s exact test.
