From: Characterization and manipulation of the bacterial community in the midgut of Ixodes ricinus
Colony-forming counts of bacteria ingested (in red) and isolated (in blue) from the midgut of the same individual of Ixodes ricinus adult females after 2 h of capillary feeding. a Pantoea sp., b Micrococcus luteus. Chryseobacterium indologenes was used as a positive control. The results represent the median for 10 individual ticks. Asterisks indicate statistically significant difference at *** P < 0.001 and ****P < 0.0001
