Human Probing Behavior of Aedes aegypti when Infected with a Life-Shortening Strain of Wolbachia (original) (raw)
Figure 5
Additional phenotypes observed in _Wolbachia_-infected A. aegypti.
Proportion of _w_MelPop-infected mosquitoes exhibiting abnormal pre-probing behavior as: body jittering (“shaky”) or bended proboscis (“bendy”) in mosquitoes from their first occurrence at 15 days of age. Bars depict medians±quartiles for four replicate experiments, each based on 10 individual mosquitoes. Neither of these behaviors was observed in Wolbachia non-infected mosquitoes.
