Virus propagation in vivo of rgBTV11 and BTV11(S10del) in midges. Colonized C. sonorensis were fed with blood containing rgBTV11, or were fed or injected with BTV11(S10del). Viral RNA was detected and semi-quantitated by PCR expressed in Cq values for individual bodies (circles) and heads (squares) at day 0 and day 10 after feeding or inoculation. The mean Cq value (bars) and percentage of PCR-positives of each group are indicated
