From: A Zika virus from America is more efficiently transmitted than an Asian virus by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes from Asia

Figure 1

Comparison of susceptibility to Zika virus infection between Ae. aegypti, Ae. albopictus and Cx. quinquefasciatus. Mosquitoes were orally infected with PF13 at a titer of 106 or 105 pfu/ml. (A) At 7 days p.i., ZIKV genome copies were quantified in whole mosquitoes. (B) At 14 days p.i., ZIKV genome copies were quantified in salivary glands. Infection rate and gRNA copies per infected mosquitoes are shown. Each point represents one mosquito sample. Line shows average of gRNA copies. Twenty mosquitoes were tested per condition. Asterisks indicate significant difference with Ae. aegypti in the same condition following a Z-test and T-test for infection rate and gRNA copies, respectively.
