Infection and transmission of USUV after oral exposure of Cx. pipiens to infectious chicken or human blood. a Cx. pipiens pipiens and b Cx. pipiens molestus were incubated at 28 °C, and analyzed for infectious virus at 14 days post-blood meal. The number of virus-positive mosquito bodies or saliva samples (indicated by +) is expressed as a percentage of the total number of mosquitoes tested (indicated by n). Asterisks (*, **) indicate a significant p value of < 0.05 and < 0.01, respectively, while ns represents a non-significant difference (Fisher’s exact test)
