The microbiome composition of Aedes aegypti is not critical for Wolbachia-mediated inhibition of dengue virus (original) (raw)
Fig 4
Infection rate and DENV genome copy number are unaffected by manipulation of the microbiome using antibiotic treatment.
(A) Percent of infected mosquitoes as determined by qRT-PCR; total numbers of mosquitoes tested per group are listed below each chart. (B) Total number of DENV genome copies per body for all mosquitoes identified as DENV-positive in (A). Statistical analysis was performed using a one-way ANOVA, only the effect of Wolbachia was significant. Data shows median and interquartile range.
