Table 2.

Infection and dissemination rates of Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus exposed to Brazoran virus followed by a second noninfectious blood meal*

Species Viral Dose (PFU/mL) Treatment No. Tested % Infected (95% CI) % Disseminated (95% CI)
Aedes aegypti 3.8 × 105 SF 120 76.7 (68.1–83.9) 46.7 (37.5–56.0)
Ae. aegypti DF 53 83.0 (70.2–91.9) 67.9 (53.7–80.1)
Culex quinquefasciatus SF 35 88.6 (73.3–96.8) 5.7 (0.7–19.2)
Cx. quinquefasciatus DF 32 87.5 (71.0–96.5) 12.5 (3.5–29.0)
*

Percentages are based on the number of mosquitoes tested.

The single-feed (SF) group was given a single infectious blood meal. The double-feed (DF) group was given an infectious blood meal followed by a second noninfectious blood meal at day 7.

Mosquitoes were tested for virus infection on day 14.
