The Influence of Dengue Virus Serotype-2 Infection on Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) Motivation and Avidity to Blood Feed
Figure 2
Effect of infection status on avidity of mosquitoes.
Proportion of mosquitoes that attempted to re-feed two hours after their first feeding attempt, as a function of their infection status and amount of blood they had imbibed earlier (measured as optical density). Dots represent individual mosquitoes and are set to 1 if they attempted to feed within five minutes and to 0 if they did not. Lines show the results of logistic regressions through the dots.
