Figure 3.
Amount of ZIKV RNA in the virus-challenged Ae. galloisi and Ae. japonicus. Ae. galloisi (A–C) and Ae. japonicus (D–F) were fed an IBM containing 105 FFU/mL of ZIKV strain PRVABC59. The amounts of virus RNA in three body parts; abdomen, thorax and head, and the legs and wings of both naturally dead (□) and killed (●) mosquitoes were quantified by qRT-PCR. The broken lines in the figure show the cut-off value of Cp. The detailed individual Cp value is available in Table S3. DPI: days post infection.
