Gene expression was quantified in WT (blue circles) and Wolbachia-infected (maroon squares) mosquitoes by qRT-PCR at 7 days post-injection with sterile media or DENV3. Expression levels of a phospholipase D3, b pancreatic lipase-related protein 2, c very low density lipophorin receptor, and d cardiolipin synthase were normalized to a housekeeping gene, RpS17. Mean and standard error are shown in graphs. Each data point represents one mosquito (n = 10 per condition). P values of post hoc comparisons are shown (Student’s two-sided t test with Bonferroni correction).
