ZIKV and DENV2 infection prevalence in Ae. aegypti as detected in the bCUBE versus plaque assay. Aedes aegypti were infected with Zika (a) and dengue (b) virus via an artificial blood meal. Each group was split into two groups and analyzed using the bCUBE assay (black bars) and the other half was used for the plaque assay (grey bars). Three experiments (Exp-1, Exp-2, Exp-3) were done for both ZIKV and DENV2 infected individual mosquitoes. No significant difference was detected between the plaque assay and bCUBE qPCR in terms of infection prevalence (% of infected mosquitoes) (ns, not significant; Fisher’s exact test). Abbreviations: ZIKV, Zika virus; DENV2, dengue virus serotype 2; Exp, experiment
