Sexually transmitted AgDNV is not vertically transmitted from mother to offspring. a, b Females mated to AgDNV-infected males were provided a blood meal and the resulting F1 offspring were reared to adults. AgDNV was not detectable in male or female F1 progeny (whole bodies) from either a first blood-feeding (a; one-way ANOVA, Sidak’s correction, each point = pool of 4–5 whole mosquitoes), or a second blood-feeding (b; one-way ANOVA, Sidak’s correction, each point = pool of 4–5 whole mosquitoes), as compared to F1 offspring from PBS-injected fathers. NS indicates P-value > 0.05. Viral genomes are normalized to host genomes (S7)
