Additional file 3 of Vector competence of Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti from the islands of the Southwestern Indian Ocean for epidemic Zika, dengue, and chikungunya viruses
Abstract
Additional file 3: Vector competence details of Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti mosquitoes from SWIO exposed to the DENV-1 strain. Infection rates (IR), dissemination efficiencies (DE), and transmission efficiencies (TE) are presented for 14, 21, and 28 days post-exposure (dpe) to infectious blood meals. IR = number of infected bodies among examined mosquitoes (%); DE = number of infected heads among examined mosquitoes (%); TE = number of infected saliva among examined mosquitoes (%); Mean/Median VT = mean or median of the viral titers found in saliva of the positive sample (log10 PFU/saliva). The fraction in parentheses represents the number of positive samples out of the total number of samples tested. The interval in brackets represents the 95% confidence interval of the value, or the first and third quartiles for the median. NA = not available.
