An integrated overview of the midgut bacterial flora composition of Phlebotomus perniciosus, a vector of zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis in the Western Mediterranean Basin

(A) Dynamic of the midgut bacterial richness and abundance during July, September, and October 2011. An ITS-PCR profile was assigned to a bacterial species and identified by the sequencing of the 16S rDNA locus. The percentage of each bacterial species was obtained by counting the number of colonies having the same ITS-PCR profile and expressed as a percentage of the total colonies isolated during the considered month. (B) Shannon’s diversity value (left side) and Simpson’s diversity value (right side) for the months of July, September and October respectively. Error bars are 95% confidence interval. (C) Correspondance analysis (CA) based on bacterial species frequencies (in black) according the different months (July, September and October in blue). Bacteria are identified by an abbreviation: Ba, Bacillus; Br, Brevundimonas; En, Enterococcus, Ko, Kocuria; Ly, Lysinibacillus; Mib, Microbacterium; Mic, Micrococcus; Oc, Ochrobactrum; No, Nocardia; Rh, Rhizobium; Ro, Roseomonas; Sa, Sacharomonospora; Se, Serratia; Sp, Sporosarcina; Ste, Stenotrophomonas; St, Staphylococcus.
