Flowchart of vertical transmission estimation of DENV-1 in Wt and wMel-infected Ae. aegypti with a Vietnamese background. Shown is the fate of mosquitoes as they were processed in order to determine the frequency of vertical transmission of F0 females after being infected by microinjection of DENV-1 (strain FJ432735). The orange boxes represent Wt Ae. aegypti, the green boxes represent wMel-Ae. aegypti and the red boxes indicate excluded samples. The asterisk (*) indicates the numbers are estimated. DENV-1, Dengue virus serotype 1; MLE, maximum likelihood estimate of infection rate; RT-PCR, reverse transcriptase-PCR; wMel, Wolbachia strain wMel-infected Ae. aegypti; Wt, wild type
