Relative Wolbachia densities (ankyrin repeat domain to rps17) across Ae. aegypti lifetime. a Relationship between Wolbachia densities in the ovaries, abdomen and head + thorax (H + T) of Ae. aegypti females at different time points. n = 14–15 individuals. (Tissue = P ≤ 0.0001; Time = P = 0.50; Time × Tissue = P = 0.60). b Relationship between Wolbachia densities in the testes, abdomen and H + T of Ae. aegypti males at different time points. n = 12–15 individuals. Only sex (P < 0.001) and tissue were significant (P < 0.001)
