Fig. 4.

Crithidia mellificae parasite growth curves at 27°C (blue line), 36°C (red line) and 37°C (purple line) from sample c828. The parasite cell number was transformed to the base 10 logarithm value (Y axis) for better curve visualization. The log phases were observed between day 1 and day 3 at 27°C and 37°C and between day 1 and day 2 at 36°C.
