Figure 5From: Understanding West Nile virus ecology in Europe: Culex pipiens host feeding preference in a hotspot of virus emergence Temporal variation of mosquito feeding preferences during mosquito activity season. Feeding preference indices (P i ) of Cx. pipiens mosquitoes of the most notable bird species in Veneto region in early season (May-June period) and late season (July-September period). Columns with hash key (#) are conservative estimates (see text). Asterisks indicate statistical differences between periods (***: p < 0.001).Back to article page
