Quantification of Spiroplasma titre in terms of the symbiont dnaA gene copies normalized by the tsetse β-tubulin gene. (a) Gff gut from larvae, male and female teneral and 15-day old tsetse flies (n = 3, each sample is a poοl of five) p < 0.005, (b) gonads from male and female teneral tsetse flies (n = 3, each sample is a poοl of five), p < 0.05 (Anova test was performed; statistical significant differences are indicated with an asterisk*).
