Fig. 5.

Crithidia mellificae parasite growth curves at 27°C (blue and black lines) and 36°C (red and green lines) 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 for growth at 27°C (A) and on day 1 and day 2 for growth at 36°C degrees (B). All curves were visualized together, confirming repetition in parasite growth (C). (For interpretation of the references to colour in this figure legend, the reader is referred to the Web version of this article.)
