Wolbachia Mediate Variation of Host Immunocompetence
Figure 5
Effect of Wolbachia on CFUs obtained from haemolymph samples.
Haemolymph samples from A. vulgare females infected or not by Wolbachia were streaked onto several agar media (CNA, MHA and Chocolate). On CNA [selective medium for Gram (+) bacteria], the mean number of CFUs obtained for haemolymph samples from C females was significantly higher than in A females or M females.
