EBIV titers and infection rates of Ae. aegypti through intrathoracic inoculation.
EBIV titers (A) and infection rates (B) of mosquitoes at 4, 7, 10 and 14 days after injection with 340 PFU EBIV. EBIV titers (C) and infection rates (D) of mosquitoes injected with 0.34 to 340 PFU EBIV at 7 dpi. EBIV titers in gut (E), head (F), saliva (G) and ovary (H) samples of mosquitoes injected with 34 PFU EBIV at 2, 4, 7 and 10 dpi. Gut (I), head (J), saliva (K) and ovary (L) infection rates of mosquitoes injected with 34 PFU EBIV at 2, 4, 7 and 10 dpi. Each dot represents an individual mosquito. The same letters indicate no significant differences (multiple comparisons using non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis analysis). Differences in rates were analyzed with Fisher’s exact test (*: p ≤ 0.05, **: p ≤ 0.01, ***: p ≤ 0.005 and ****: p ≤ 0.001).
