Fig. 4.
Vector competence parameters of Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti lines exposed to the DENV-1 strain. Graphics (A–C) correspond to infection rate (IR), dissemination efficiency (DE), and transmission efficiency (TE), respectively. Mosquito lines were tested at 14, 21, and 28 days post exposure (dpe) to DENV-1. Samples were examined for infectious viral particles plaque forming unit (PFU) titration on Vero cells: in the bodies for the IR, the heads for DE, and the saliva for TE. Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals. COM Comoros archipelago, SEY Seychelles archipelago, RUN Reunion Island, N number of mosquitoes tested, NA not available
