PCR amplification of P. papatasi defensin gene in different tissues. (A) Defensin PCR from guts (g) and carcasses (c) from L3, early L4 (e-L4), late L4 (l-L4) larval stages, and from females collected 24 h and 144 h post infection. (B) Defensin PCR from heads (h), guts (g), thorax (t), Malpighian tubules (mt), eggs (e), and posterior end of the abdomen of females collected on day four (96 h) post blood feeding. Representative images of electrophoresis of defensin (def) and control (ctr) PCR products in 1.5 % agarose gel are shown.
