Table 1 Independent colonisation of the salivary glands. Salivary glands infection profiles of 60 flies infected with red and green fluorescent Trypanosoma brucei. Data from [29]
From: Fluorescent proteins reveal what trypanosomes get up to inside the tsetse fly
Paired salivary glands from individual flies | No. of flies |
|---|---|
Trypanosome population identical in both glands (both red, both green or both mixed infection) | 26 |
Trypanosome population differs between glands (red + green, red + mixed infection, green + mixed infection) | 12 |
Only one gland infected (red, green or mixed infection) | 22 |
Total | 60 |
