TABLE 2.
Trypanosome infection outcome in tsetse fly midguts (MG) and proboscis (prob) of symbiotic (GmmSod+) and S. glossinidius-free (GmmSod–) flies that were given a Trypanosoma congolense-parasitized blood meal when they were newly emerged, 1 day post-eclosion.
Symbiont status fly | # MG infected/total flies | Infection rate MG (%) | Chi-sq/p-value | # Prob infected/MG-infections | Infection rate Prob (%) | Chi-sq/p-value |
GmmSod+ | 19/119 | 16.0 | 0.46 | 18/19 | 94.7 | 0.84 |
GmmSod– | 25/128 | 19.5 | 24/25 | 96 |
