Wolbachia inhibits ovarian formation and increases blood feeding rate in female Aedes aegypti
Fig 2
(A) Boxplots showing the proportion of infertile females in wAlbB-infected and uninfected mosquitoes with an egg stage that had lasted for 12 weeks (stored) or one week and a larvae stage that had been deprived of food for two weeks (starved) or that had not been deprived of food. Mosquitoes that had not been treated with "stored" or “starved” are designated as “control”. No uninfected females from all four treatments were infertile. Values above boxplots represent corresponding averaged percentages based on two replicates for controls and three replicates for treatments with each replicate containing 30 individuals. (B) Boxplots of relative Wolbachia density in 3–5 days post-emergence females with unknown fertility status. Each group is based on two consistent real-time PCR replicates.
