wMel infection influences the median wing size of adult Brazilian Ae. aegypti females. Box-and-whisker plots of median wing centroid size (mm) of wMel-infected (+) and uninfected (−) female mosquitoes under different crowding conditions. Green boxes represent the lower density, blue and red boxes the intermediate and higher densities, respectively. wMel infection led to reduced wing size in females at the low (Mann-Whitney U test, U = 1811, df = 1, P = 0.0009) and high densities (Mann-Whitney U test, U = 1668, df = 1, P < 0.0001); however, there was no difference from uninfected females at intermediate larval density (Mann-Whitney U test, U = 2198, df = 1, P = 0.1119). Data were pooled from two independent biological replicates. The total number of females (nfem.) is indicated above treatment
