Further study showed that such microbes fail to colonize the fleas' midguts, indicating that Ymt normally protects the germ from an antimicrobial substance there. |
The midguts from 20 larvae were used as one replicate, and 3 replicates were prepared. |
But they rupture cell membranes in the midguts of caterpillars and other insect pests that chew on Bt-treated plants, causing them to starve and die. |
Stage-specific adhesion of Leishmania promastigotes to sand fly midguts assessed using an improved comparative binding assay. |
Comparative in silico analysis of sequences isolated directly from the salivary glands and midguts showed high levels of the virus in the midgut tissues. |
For oocyst infections, midguts of only unfed, semi-gravid and gravid females were examined. |
