Fig. 6

wMel-infected Brazilian Ae. aegypti adult female mosquitoes have higher levels of glycogen after rearing at high larval density. Graphs depict the median glycogen levels of wMel-infected (+) and uninfected (−) adult Brazilian Ae. aegypti female mosquitoes. Each circle represents a single adult female, while the horizontal black lines indicate the median glycogen content in each treatment. Green dots represent the lower density where there was no difference in the levels of glycogen between infected and uninfected females (Mann-Whitney U test, U = 795, df = 1, P = 0.4627). Blue and red dots depict the intermediate and higher densities, respectively, where Wolbachia-infected females had a higher level of glycogen (Intermediate: Mann-Whitney U test, U = 863, df = 1, P < 0.0001; High: Mann-Whitney U test, U = 536, df = 1, P < 0.0001). The total number of females (nfem.) is indicated above each treatment. Data were pooled from two independent biological replicates
