Fig 7. Number of FD92 VmpA-His₆-coated latex beads in midgut of Euscelidius variegatus and Scaphoideus titanus after ingestion and fluorescence observations.

Number of fluorescent beads coated with various concentrations of FD92 VmpA-His₆ in E. variegatus middle midgut (A) or S. titanus middle midgut (B). After eating HEPES-sucrose containing the fluorescent beads, insects were maintained two and four days on broad bean before the intestine were dissected. A total of 43 to 60 insects per group were examined for E. variegatus (pool of 3 independent experiments) and 21 to 32 for S. titanus (pool of 2 independent experiments). P-value found with the Kruskal-Wallis test of R were indicated above de graph. Dots on the box-plots indicate Individual values.
