RNA copy numbers in organs and body parts from mosquitoes challenged with ZIKV-I and ZIKV-6C. The study was performed using: a Malpighian tubules, b midguts, c ovaries, d salivary glands and e wings/legs. The amount of viral RNA in each organ over time was determined by Friedman test. The amount of viral RNA in different organs was compared at the same time point using Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests. P ≤ 0.05 was considered significant. ZIKV-6V and ZIKV-6A were not included in the analysis because a small number of mosquitoes tested positive for these viruses, preventing a robust statistical analysis
