DENV-2 infection rate in A .notoscriptus and Ae. aegypti. Wild-type Ae. aegypti (Wolbachia -), Wolbachia- infected Ae. notoscriptus and their antibiotic-treated counterparts Noto.tet were blood-fed with DENV-2, and viral genomic RNA was then detected by qPCR at 14 d post-infection. Infection rates are expressed as the percentage of DENV-2 infected samples out of the total sample number. ( A ) Head samples (Noto and Noto.tet total N  = 20, Ae. aegypti total N  = 15). ( B ) Abdomen samples (total N  = 30 for all groups). There was no significant difference (ns; P  > 0.05) in proportions infected between Noto and Noto.tet abdomen samples, but there were highly significant differences ( P  < 0.0001) between Ae. aegypti and other mosquitoes.
