Aedes albopictus supports eL3 development. a, c Graphs of the average prevalence of D. immitis eL3 emerging at 17 dpi in Ae. aegyptiS (blue bar, Ae. aegS) or Ae. albopictusNJ (purple bar, Ae. alboNJ) reared and maintained under standard insectary conditions (a) or in Ae. albopictusNJ (purple bar, Ae. alboNJ) reared and maintained at 24 °C, 70% relative humidity and 16:8-h (light/dark) photoperiod (c). Error bars indicate the SD. The number of mosquitoes (n) analyzed is indicated for each sample. b, d Blue and purple dots are the number of D. immitis eL3 emerging at 17 dpi from individual Ae. aegyptiS (Ae. aegS) or Ae. albopictusNJ (Ae. alboNJ) mosquitoes, respectively, reared and maintained under standard insectary conditions (b) or at 24 °C, 70% relative humidity and 16:8-h (light/dark) photoperiod (d)
