Cover photograph: The Nine Mile phase II strain of Coxiella burnetii expressing mCherry invades primary hemocytes expressing green fluorescent protein that were isolated from Drosophila melanogaster third-instar larvae. Isolated hemocytes were fixed, stained with DAPI (4ʹ,6- diamidino-2-phenylindole; blue), and imaged using a White Light Laser point scanning confocal microscope. Z-stacks of an individual cell were used for 3-dimensional reconstruction and crosssectioning. (Images courtesy of Aoi Hiroyasu and David DeWitt, Washington State University, Pullman, WA.)
