Figure 4

Relationship between dose and competence of Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus mosquitoes for Zika virus HND and CAM. Graphs show proportion of blood-engorged mosquitoes infected, with disseminated infections, and transmitting. Lines depict the best-fit linear relationships as determined by linear regression analyses. All relationships are linear and correlative (r2 = 0.82–0.97). Doses at which 50% of mosquitoes are infected, have disseminated infections, and are transmitting (ID50, DD50, and TD50

Graphs show proportion of blood-engorged mosquitoes infected, with disseminated infections, and transmitting. Lines depict the best-fit linear relationships as determined by linear regression analyses. All relationships are linear and correlative (r2 = 0.82–0.97). Doses at which 50% of mosquitoes are infected, have disseminated infections, and are transmitting (ID50, DD50, and TD50, respectively) were calculated by using best-fit lines.
