Examples of vector competence studies on Aedes aegypti for three of the major viruses this species transmits, Zika, dengue, and yellow fever.

Origin of mosquito strain	Virus	Infection rate	Reference
Salvador, Brazil	Zika DAK AR	100%	Roundy et al., 2017
Rio Grande, Texas	“	40%

The geographic origin of mosquitoes tested is in first column with the virus in the second. Infection rate (third column) is the percent of females that blood fed on infective blood that became infected. Note that in this table are presented studies using the same strain of virus and assayed in the same laboratory using identical methods on both strains of mosquitoes assayed.
