The number of D. immitis eL3 from Ae. aegyptiS are constant between 13 and 21 dpi. a Graph of the average prevalence in Ae. aegyptiS of D. immitis eL3 assayed 12–21 dpi. Error bars indicate the standard deviation (SD). b Dots are the number of D. immitis eL3 from individual mosquitoes assayed from 12 to 21 dpi. This experiment was performed four times. Two replicates were assayed on 12 to 18 dpi; the other two replicates were assayed on 14 to 21 dpi. Each replicate was performed with approximately 50 mosquitoes. The replicates on 12 dpi were performed with fewer mosquitoes since our preliminary data suggested that emergence was negligible on this day
