Fluorescent trypanosomes within the bloodmeal inside the midgut. Green fluorescent trypanosomes (Trypanosoma brucei gambiense strain TH2) visualised in the bloodmeal of a tsetse fly 48 hours after the infected bloodmeal. a Brightfield image showing the upper extent of the bloodmeal in the anterior midgut. Scale-bar: 100 μm. b Fluorescence image revealing small numbers of green fluorescent trypanosomes distributed throughout the bloodmeal.
