From: Natural infection by the protozoan Leptomonas wallacei impacts the morphology, physiology, reproduction, and lifespan of the insect Oncopeltus fasciatus

Figure 6

L. wallacei affects Oncopeltus fasciatus population dynamics with sex-bias. (A) Development, lifespan, and reproductive data from infected and uninfected colonies of O. fasciatus were combined to model the relative population size of each life stage in the population dynamics considering the sexual differences. (B) Population projections for uninfected or infected colonies. Even if infection impacts the population, it is still shown to grow exponentially.
