Fig 5. Effects of Ae. aegypti Zinc lncRNA silencing on ZIKV infection.

Fig 5

Viral titers of Zika virus in midguts and carcasses obtained from dsRNA-treated mosquitoes at 7- or 10-days post-infection, respectively. Each panel corresponds to the comparison between Zinc-silenced mosquitoes and GFP dsRNA-treated controls: A) Zinc1-silenced, B) Zinc2-silenced, C) Zinc3-silenced, D) Zinc9-silenced, E) Zinc10-silenced, F) Zinc22-silenced. Each dot corresponds to the logarithmic number of plaque-forming units (pfu) that were counted per tissue and represents data from individual mosquitoes. The numbers in parentheses represent the number of virus-infected mosquitoes plotted against the number of mosquitoes checked. Data are presented as box plots in which the horizontal lines indicate the median value and whiskers show the minimum to maximum values. The significance was determined by Mann-Whitney U-test. **:P<0.01
