Figure 5

Wolbachia frequency levels for both single and double-strain Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes in the presence/absence of CI and Wolbachia infection loss. (a) Showed the Wolbachia frequency levels of both one-strain—wAu; wMel; wAlbB, and two-strain—wAu & wAlbB; wAu & wMel; and wMel & wAlbB Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes, accounting for the effects of uni- and bidirectional CIs and the LWI (parameters used can be found in Table 3). (b) Showed the adult mosquitoes for wAu-Wolbachia only competition with the wild type mosquitoes as in wAu only Wolbachia frequency in (a). (c) Showed the adult mosquitoes for wMel-Wolbachia competition only with uninfected mosquitoes as in wMel only in (a). (d) Showed the adult mosquitoes for wAlbB-Wolbachia competition only with uninfected mosquitoes as shown in (a). (e) Showed the adult mosquito population of the two strain competition of wAu and wMel together with wild-type mosquitoes for the Wolbachia frequency of wAu and wMel in (a). (f) Showed the adult populations for uninfected, wAu- and wAlbB-infected mosquitoes for the Wolbachia frequency in (a). (g) Showed the adult populations for wAlbB- and wMel-infected mosquitoes for the Wolbachia frequency in (a).
