Effects of Infection by Trypanosoma cruzi and Trypanosoma rangeli on the Reproductive Performance of the Vector Rhodnius prolixus
Figure 4
Comparison of the effect of trypanosome infection on e-value and egg hatching rate of R. prolixus.
A) Variation of e-value between insects exposed to infection by T. cruzi 25–25°C and T. cruzi 30–25°C and their corresponding controls; B) variation of e-value between insects exposed to infection by T. cruzi 25–25°C and T. rangeli 25–25°C and their corresponding controls; C) variation of egg hatching rate between insects exposed to infection by T. cruzi 25–25°C and T. cruzi 30–25°C and their corresponding controls; D) variation of egg hatching rate between insects exposed to infection by T. cruzi 25–25°C and T. rangeli 25–25°C and their corresponding controls. Data represent the mean ± s.e. of 15 control and 19 T. cruzi 25–25°C infected pairs (A–D), 20 control and 20 T. cruzi 30–25°C infected pairs (A and C) and 20 control and 20 T. rangeli 25–25°C infected pairs (B and D). Green indicates data obtained from insects infected by T. cruzi 25–25°C and controls (A–D), red indicates data from insects infected by T. cruzi 30–25°C and controls (A and C) and blue indicates data from insects infected by T. rangeli 25–25°C and controls (B and D). Dots represent e-value and hatching rates shown by each pair.
