Additional file 8: of Combining paratransgenesis with SIT: impact of ionizing radiation on the DNA copy number of Sodalis glossinidius in tsetse flies

Impact of time post irradiation on Wigglesworthia and Wolbachia copy number in G. m. morsitans adult flies emerged from irradiated 22-day old puparia. Four males of adults emerged from 22-day old puparia exposed to different radiation doses were used to quantify on Wigglesworthia male (A) and Wigglesworthia female (B) copy number at different time point post-irradiation for each irradiation dose. Normalized qPCR data were transformed (λ = 0.02 and λ = 0.3 for males and females respectively) to best fit the statistical normal distribution and used for the regression analysis. (PDF 99 kb
