From pre-oral secretions to gut digestion: How do Lucilia sericata (Diptera: Calliphoridae) larvae handle Leishmania major?
Fig 5
Comparison of the mean percentage of viable parasites between the intervention group (L. sericata and L. major in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% serum) and the control group (L. major in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% serum) outside the larval body, following a four-hour interaction.
The viability of parasites was assessed using the trypan blue exclusion method.
