Venereally transmitted AgDNV causes disseminated infection in mated females. a, b Females mated to AgDNV-injected males have a Detectable AgDNV in the spermatheca [Ln(y) transformed, unpaired Student’s t-test; each point = pool of 5–13 tissues], b disseminated AgDNV infection in the carcass [Ln(y) transformed, Welch’s t-test, each point = single carcass with spermatheca removed], when analyzed 8–14 days post-mating and relative to females mated to PBS-treated mates. Viral genomes are normalized to host genomes (S7)
