Fig. 5: Qualitative analysis of L. major MRC-01 and L. major MRC-02 development in sand flies.
From: Characterization of a new Leishmania major strain for use in a controlled human infection model
At the days indicated post blood meal (PBM), engorged P. duboscqi (dub) and P. papatasi (pap) were dissected and parasite development was assessed. Percentage of flies infected with L. major MRC-01 (a) and L. major MRC-02 (b) based on assessment of intensity of infection. Development of L. major MRC-01 (c) and L. major MRC-02 (d) as assessed by location within the gut; endoperitrophic space (ES), anterior midgut (AMG), thoracic midgut (TMG) cardia and stomodeal valve (SV). Data are pooled from three independent experiments and are shown as frequency of total number of sand flies dissected. Number of sand flies dissected is shown above each bar. Source data are provided as a Source data file.
