\subsection{Challenge of \textit{B. dubia} with \textit{F. tularensis} LVS}
To determine if OS cockroach survival was proportional to the number of bacteria present in the challenge inoculum, serial dilutions of \textit{F. tularensis} LVS were injected into into the hemocoel of juvenile cockroaches that measured greater than 1.5 cm in length. Challenged cockroaches were housed at 37$^{\circ}$C and survival was monitored for 7 days. The percentage of each group that survived challenge and the rate of death were dose-dependent;
all no OS cockroaches
challenged survived challenge with 10^{5} CFU of \textit{F. tularensis} LVS
and all cockroaches died by
day five
days post-challenge while only a single cockroach post-challenge; 60% of cockroaches challenged with
10^{3} 10^{4} CFU of \textit{F. tularensis} LVS
died during the course survived through day seven post-challenge; and 90% of
the experiment cockroaches challenged with 10^{3} CFU of \textit{F. tularensis} LVS survived through day seven post-challenge (Figure 2). Injection of PBS alone did not result in any deaths.
