FIGURE 1.

(A) The number of nymphs out of ten that survived being stung with a hemolymph-contaminated needle increased while processing the five consecutive experimental batches B1 to B5. (B) Reproduction of young adults of clones 37H0, 405H0, or 407H0 during 1 week. Recipients had been stung with a needle contaminated with hemolymph from a donor without H. defensa (control, “ctrl”) or with hemolymph from a donor with H. defensa. Recipients that had been exposed to potentially infectious hemolymph could either reject the infection (“exp”) or succumb to it (“inf”). Black dots indicate boxplot outliers.
