WT line DENV viral RNA load in co- and mono-infection by DPI, tissue, and serotype. Ae. aegypti mosquitoes were orally challenged with DENV-2 (orange) and DENV-3 (navy) in both co-infection (square) and mono-infection (triangle) experiments, with viruses offered at equivalent titers in both cases. Mosquito tissues (midgut, carcass, and salivary glands) were collected at nine days post-infection, and DENV RNA load was determined via RT-qPCR using serotype-specific probes. Mosquitoes with undetectable viral RNA load are not represented in this graph. Black bars represent treatment medians. Each symbol represents a single mosquito sample. Data were log-transformed. Sample size n = 7
