Fig. 3From: Effect of blood source on vector competence of Culex pipiens biotypes for Usutu virusUSUV titers in bodies and saliva of Cx. pipiens after oral exposure to infectious chicken or human blood. a, b Cx. pipiens pipiens and c, d Cx. pipiens molestus were incubated at 28 °C, and virus titers were determined 14 days post-infection. Data points represent individual mosquitoes 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 (p > 0.05; Mann–Whitney U test)Back to article page
