Fig. 3.
Vector competence parameters of Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti lines exposed to the ZIKV strain. Graphics A–C correspond to infection rate (IR), dissemination efficiency (DE), and transmission efficiency (TE), respectively. Mosquito lines were tested at 7, 14, and 21 days post exposure (dpe) to the ZIKV. Samples were examined for the presence of infectious viral particles by plaque forming unit (PFU) titration on Vero cells: bodies for the IR, heads for the DE, and saliva for the TE. Error bars correspond to the 95% confidence interval. COM Comoros archipelago, SEY Seychelles archipelago, RUN Reunion Island, N, number of mosquitoes tested, NA not available
