Trypanosomatid yields in the insect samples analyzed with the α-tubulin TaqMan assay. Data are presented as a violin plot showing the density of cell equivalents per insect. The red circles represent 8 infected samples of the western honey bee Apis mellifera, the yellow squares represent 4 infected samples of the buff-tailed bumblebee Bombus terrestris, the blue cross represents an infected sample of Halictus spp. and the blue triangle represents an infected white-banded digger bee Amegilla quadrifasciata. The blue dotted line represents 1 × 104 cell equivalents per insect [Log4(10)] and 1 × 106 cell equivalents per insect [Log6(10)]
