Wolbachia tropism and dynamics post-pupal microinjection of female buffalo flies assessed using real-time PCR. a–cWolbachia tropism in female BF (n = 6) 13 days post-pupal injection. Ovary infection was detected in wMel and wMelPop injected flies. d–fWolbachia dynamics measured over 15 days post-injection. Here, mean Wolbachia density is expressed relative to the host genome. Kruskal–Wallis and Dunn’s multiple comparison tests were used to compare titres to those at day 0. Bars with different letters are significantly different (P < 0.05). Scale on the Y-axis for wMelPop (f) is different to that for the other two strains (d, e) indicating faster growth rate with wMelPop
