\subsection{Effect of \textit{B. dubia} development on \textit{F. tularensis} virulence}
Because insect immune responses are known to vary by age and developmental stage \cite{25730277}(other refs), we sought out to determine if there were any differences in susceptibility to infection in late instar juvenile cockroaches
(as was used in
all other portions of this report) compared to comparison with adult male and adult female cockroaches. We
also attempted to
also evaluate susceptibility in early instar
cockroaches, cockroaches (size < 1 cm total length), but these
groups had
significant number large numbers of animals
die that died due to trauma and were, therefore, excluded from subsequent analysis. Injections in adults were performed using the same method described for the juveniles. We found that adult female and juvenile cockroaches had susceptibility patterns that were statistically indestinguishable from each other. But interestingly, we saw that adult male cockroaches were more sensitive to killing by \textit{F.
tularensis}. tularensis} (Figure 3, Table 1).
