Product-moment correlation coefficients (r_1,2) for the relationship between population growth measurements (time to emergence, survivorship, size, and λ′) and infection parameters.

Notes: Infection parameters include infection, body titer of females with isolated infection, body titer of females with disseminated infection, and dissemination for Aedes albopictus (df = 25) and A. aegypti (df = 12). An infection limited to the midgut is called an “isolated infection,” whereas an infection spread beyond the midgut, infecting secondary target organs (e.g., salivary glands, head, legs), is called a “disseminated infection.” Asterisks denote significant correlation coefficients. No r_1,2 values are reported for A. aegypti dissemination and body titer (isolated) since all infected individuals had disseminated infections.
