Leishmania (L.) infantum interaction with Lulo cell lines. Leishmania interaction with the sand fly cells at 2, 24, 48 and 72 h of co-incubation. The Leishmania interaction was performed in three different groups. In black, Lulo cells containing high Wolbachia density (ratio 10:1 Wolbachia per cell); in grey, Lulo with containing low Wolbachia density (ratio 5:1 Wolbachia per cell); in white, control Lulo cells (uninfected with Wolbachia). Data are expressed in percentile values (%) and represent the average and standard deviation of four independent experiments. Data were analysed by Mann-Whitney U-test and no significant differences were observed between the groups (P > 0.05)
