Fig. 5

Infection of Cedecea followed by CxSm1RifR (a) or CxSm1RifR followed by Cedecea (b) in Cx. quinquefasciatus. Line graphs show bacteria density (CFU/mosquito), and pie graphs show infection prevalence. For each time point, ten mosquitoes were sampled. Letters indicate significance from Mann–Whitney test comparing density of CxSm1RifR single and co-infectons within a time point. For prevalence data, asterisks indicate a significant difference between Serratia prevalence in single and co-infected mosquitoes using a Fisher’s exact test. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ****p < 0.0001.
