Virus replication in vivo of rgBTV11 variants in midges. Colonized C. sonorensis were fed with blood containing reverse genetics derived BTV11 (rgBTV), BTV11(S126)bsr (bsr) or BTV11(S126)kc (kc). Viral RNA was detected and semi-quantitated by PCR-testing expressed in Cq values for individual bodies (circles) and heads (squares) at 0 dpf (day 0) and 10 dpf (day 10). The mean Cp values (bars) and percentages of PCR-positives of each group are indicated
