FISH of <i>Bemisia tabaci</i> nymphs parasitized by <i>Eretmocerus mundus</i>.

<p>The procedure was performed using <i>Portiera</i>-specific probe (red) and <i>Rickettsia-</i>specific probe (blue). (<b>A</b>) Scattered (S) localization pattern. White arrows indicate bacteriocytes. Blue-speckled area is the whitefly hemocoel, and the dark, clear area corresponds to the outline of the roughly spherical <i>Eretmocerus</i> larva. Bright blue area (black arrow) shows the wasp larval gut. (<b>B</b>) Confined (C) localization pattern. (<b>B1</b>) Red area (white arrows) shows <i>Portiera</i> in the bacteriocytes (<b>B2</b>) Blue area (white arrows) shows <i>Rickettsia</i> in the bacteriocytes. The pictures of <i>Rickettsia</i> and <i>Portiera</i> are presented separately because of the faint signal seen by the former. Other blue and red areas in the pictures are due to autofluorescence of the whitefly nymph and the shell of the wasp's hatched egg (white dashed arrow).</p
