Midgut infection and dissemination rates of Ae. Aegypti infected with host-cell adapted Zika virus. Midgut infection rates of Ae. aegytpi infected with host cell-adapted Zika virus at (a) 14 days and (b) 21 days after infectious blood meal (Kruskal-Wallis test, X2 = 70.288, df = 3, P ≤ 0.05 and X2 = 58.807, df = 3, P ≤ 0.05, respectively). Dissemination rates to organs other than midgut of Ae. aegytpi challenged with host cell-adapted Zika virus at c 14 days (Kruskal-Wallis test, X2 = 3.280, df = 2, P ≥ 0.05) and d 21 days after infectious blood meal (not statistically proven because all three strains have a ratio of 1). Bars with a different letter are statistically significant
