Asymmetry in the Expression of Bilateral Morphs as an Indicator Showing the Character of Interrelations Between Fleas and the Plague Pathogen

Asymmetry in the Expression of Bilateral Morphs as an Indicator Showing the Character of Interrelations Between Fleas and the Plague Pathogen

The level of fluctuating asymmetry (FA) of bilateral signs in fleas was shown to reflect a certain character of their interrelations with Yersinia pestis. Flea imagoes that had bacterial aggregations in their proventriculi demonstrated greater signs of FA chaetotaxy. Besides, in the experiments with...
