Comparison of the feeding and survival rates (from 0 to 14/16 dpi) of the four tested mosquito populations. Data values above the bars indicate the number of fully engorged or survived females per species, respectively. Numbers in brackets specify the ratio of engorged and survived females to the total number of females exposed to a blood meal or subjected to the experiment (minus day-0 samples), respectively. Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, and ***P < 0.001 by generalized binomial regression models or Fisher’s exact test with Bonferroni correction. ^†Cx. pipiens biotype molestus laboratory colony from “Wendland,” Lower Saxony, Germany. ^‡Cx. pipiens biotype molestus laboratory colony from Novi Sad, the Republic of Serbia. ^§Cx. torrentium field-collected colony near Berlin and Bonn, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. ^¶Ae. aegypti laboratory colony from Malaysia (Bayer CropScience, Langenfeld, Germany)
