Figure 3

Analysis of trypanosome infection in midgut sections over time. Relative proportion of red and green trypanosome strains in different midgut sections over time. In the fly, the proventriculus forms the junction between the foregut and midgut anteriorly; the midgut can then be divided into anterior and mid/posterior sections, as in [29], with the bulk of digestion taking place in the latter section. The Malpighian tubules mark the junction of the posterior midgut and hindgut.
