Fig 5. ZIKV and USUV can replicate to high viral titers in Ae. japonicus after intrathoracic injection.

Fig 5

Viral titers of the mosquito bodies, legs and wings (L + W), and salivas were determined by EPDA for (A) Ae. japonicus mosquitoes injected with 4.4 x 103 TCID50 of ZIKV, (B) Ae. japonicus mosquitoes injected with 1.0 x 104 TCID50 of ZIKV, (C) Ae. aegypti mosquitoes injected with ZIKV and (D) Ae. japonicus mosquitoes injected with USUV. Data points represent individual mosquitoes intrathoracically injected with either ZIKV or USUV. Lines indicate the median viral titers. Dashed lines show the detection limit of the EPDA.
