Vector competence for ZIKV PRVABC59. Aedes albopictus (n = 37), Ae. triseriatus (n = 28), Ae. japonicus (n = 73) and Ae. aegypti (n = 25) were provided infectious blood meals with an average titer of 2.57 × 107 pfu/ml (range = 5.75 × 106 to 7.5 × 107 pfu/ml). After 14 days, mosquitoes were dissected and the number infected (% mosquitoes with virus in the body), disseminated (% mosquitoes with virus in legs and wings, independent of infection status) and transmitting (% mosquitoes with virus in saliva expectorant, independent of infection status) were determined by Vero cell plaque assay. Different letters denote significance by two-tailed Fischer’s exact test and presented as mean % infected, disseminated and transmitting, α = 0.05
