Presented data show the results of the Series I experiments, carried out in Italy.
SR= w AlbA + w AlbB superinfected; ARw P_IT =w Pip infected; AR = aposymbiotic.
Number of total scored eggs are in parenthesis. Within a row, letters following the data indicate significant differences (P < 0.05) (Anova-Newman-Keuls Multiple Comparison Test).
