DENV-3 infectivity after the injection of saliva from infected <i>Aedes fluviatilis</i> and <i>Aedes aegypti</i> into naïve mosquitoes.

<p>The presence of absence of DENV was determined in 7–8 individual mosquitoes injected with saliva collected from DENV-3-infected Flu.Tet <b>(A)</b>, Flu <b>(B)</b>, Mel.Tet <b>(C)</b>, or Mel <b>(D)</b> mosquitoes, as determined by RT-qPCR. Each letter code (A-T) represents a single saliva sample. In each bar, black represents the proportion positive for DENV, and white represents the proportion where DENV was not detected. + = saliva that produced a subsequent infection.— = saliva that produced no subsequent infection.
