USUV uptake in Cx. pipiens mosquitoes immediately after engorgement of an infectious blood meal. The blood meal consisted of either chicken or human blood. Virus titers were determined by EPDAs for (a) biotype pipiens and (b) biotype molestus. Data points represent individual mosquitoes orally exposed to USUV. Lines among the dots indicate the mean viral titers. Error bars show the standard error of the mean (SEM). A non-significant difference is indicated by ns between two data sets (p > 0.05; Mann–Whitney U test)
