Fig 1. Polyphenols increase mosquito lifespan while still allowing dengue virus infection.

Fig 1

(A-D) Effect of polyphenols on male (A, C) and female (B, D) lifespan. The 50% mean lifespan is indicated by the horizontal dotted line. (E) Dengue virus RNA from mosquitoes fed or not before infection with Rv. (F) Percentage of dengue-infected mosquitoes. Ctrl—Control, Epi—100 μM epi-gallo-catechin-gallate; Gen—100 μM genistein; Que—100 μM quercetin. (Error bars,s.e.m., n = 3 experiments with 200 mosquitoes in each cage, p<0.05 in each survivor curve compared with control as calculated by Mantel-Cox and Gehan-Breslow-Wilcoxon test).
