MallonExpression levels of (A) hymenoptaecin (values zero skew log transformed as: ln (fold change in hymenoptaecin expression – 0.1952191) normalised to a noninfected control), (B) abaecin (box-cox transformed: Fold change−1.0302212/−0.0302212, normalised to a noninfected control) and (C) defensin (box-cox transformed: Fold change−0.955746/0.044254, normalised to a noninfected control) across four B.terrestris colonies (host lines) in response to four different Crithidia isolates (see in-graph legend). Points represent the means and error bars represent the standard errors.
