Figure 3

Shape differentiation between field uninfected, infected field cage and infected field released A. aegypti. Canonical variate analysis (CVA) treating infection status from DSTs and field cage as groups. (A) Canonical variate plot of mean and standard deviation, including 90% data ellipse for each group using first and second canonical variates (CV1 and CV2) that explains the greatest differentiation between groups. CV1 explains 61.9% of variation among groups while CV2 explains 29.8%. (B) Shape changes from w MelPop-CLA-infected females in DSTs to uninfected females in DSTs, and shape changes from field cage females to sticky trapped w MelPop-CLA-infected females. All shape changes were magnified 10 times for easier visualization.
