Photomicrograph of longitudinal sections in control (a, b), treated mites with the strain GP532 of B. thuringiensis (c, d) or with ivermectin (e, f). LU: lumen of the intestine, MP: peritrophic matrix, EC: ectoperitrophic space, MB: basement membrane, CI: intestinal content, Va: vacuole, VEM: medium ventricle, Ov: ovary. Arrows indicate alteration on the intestinal basement membrane or vacuole shaped fat deposits in ventricle, H&E- X40

The first column in Fig. 3 (Fig. 1) should have been labelled ‘Control’ the third column ‘Ivermectin’. The first row should be labelled ‘Intestine’ the second ‘Ventricle’.

The first row in Fig. 4 (Fig. 2) should have been labelled ‘Control’ the second row should be "GP-132 BT", and the third row ‘Ivermectin’. Panel ‘b2’ should have been labelled ‘b1’.

The first column in Fig. 5 (Fig. 3) should have been labelled ‘Control’, the third column ‘Ivermectin’.

The figures are included correctly below and have been updated in the original publication.
