Impact of the introduction of E. coli on B. afzelii infection. The load of spirochetes of B. afzelii were measured in a I. ricinus nymphs fed artificially with E. coli + B. afzelii and in b nymphs injected with E. coli + B. afzelii in the anal pore. The results were compared to nymphs that received only B. afzelii spirochetes. Means and standard deviation values are displayed. n = 8–9 nymphs/condition for capillary feeding, n = 19–20 nymphs/condition for microinjection. Mann–Whitney test, *p < 0.05
