- BUE: Buenos Aires; ACO: Corrientes; SAL: Salto; DIR: Disseminated infection rate is the proportion of mosquitoes with virus detected in the head among examined ones; TR: Transmission rate is the proportion of mosquitoes with infectious saliva among mosquitoes able to disseminate the virus beyond the midgut barrier; TE: Transmission efficiency is the proportion of mosquitoes with infectious saliva among the examined ones; In parenthesis for DIR and TE is the number of mosquitoes examined; In parenthesis for TR is the number of mosquitoes able to disseminate the infection beyond the midgut. * Due to technical issues, particularly fungal contamination of inoculated cell cultures, the number of examined saliva to determine TE was sometimes distinct from the total number of examined mosquitoes for DIR.
- Virus was detected by focus fluorescent assay on C6/36 Ae. albopictus cells.
