Fig 5. Higher viral loads of ZIKV NS1 mutants in Ae. albopictus.

Fig 5

Zika virus quantities in mosquito bodies testing positive for virus were determined by qRT-PCR for Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus at 7 and 14 days post-feeding. A significant effect of mosquito species, ZIKV strain, and an interaction between the two was identified (two-way ANOVA, p<0.01). ZIKV-WTic body titers were significantly higher in Ae. aegypti relative to Ae. albopictus at both days andbody titers of NS1 mutants were significantly higher than ZIKV-WTic in Ae. albopictus (*two-way ANOVA, Tukey’s post-test, p<0.05).
