Three-dimensional representation of the in vivo assays shown in Fig. 5. In addition to the cumulative mortality on day 7 after initial treatment (shown in Fig. 5), the time-course of mortality of HA strain bed bugs is shown on days 1–7 after they fed on treated birds. a Experiment 1: chickens treated with 2.5 mg/kg body mass on day 0. b Experiment 2: chickens treated with 0.5 mg/kg body mass on day 0 and again on day 7. Each experiment included 6 birds. At each time point a maximum of 15 bed bugs were fed on each bird, with each time point therefore represented by 78–87 bed bugs (out of a maximum of 90 bed bugs) that fed to repletion
