Fig. 5From: Mosquito diversity and dog heartworm prevalence in suburban areasWithin-host heartworm prevalence increases with mosquito diversity measures. A significant positive correlation was noted between within-host heartworm prevalence and (a) mosquito evenness (F(1, 16)= 4.881, P = 0.042, R2= 0.234) as well as (b) mosquito Shannon–Wiener diversity (F(1, 16)= 5.464, P = 0.033, R2= 0.255). c While the relationship between within-host heartworm prevalence and mosquito rarefied richness was not significant (F(1, 16)= 4.342, P = 0.054, R2= 0.213), a similar positive trend was foundBack to article page
