Invasion of the ectoperitrophic space. Green fluorescent trypanosomes (Trypanosoma brucei gambiense strain TH2) visualised in the bloodmeal of a tsetse fly 72 hours (a) and 96 hours (b) after the infected bloodmeal. Each panel shows the brightfield image (left) and fluorescence image (right). In a the bloodmeal is held within the peritrophic matrix (PM, arrowed) and trypanosomes are restricted to the endoperitrophic space. In b the trypanosomes have invaded the ectoperitrophic space (es).
