Evaluation of infected A. albimanus mosquitoes fed on sucrose solution with or without supplemented PABA and Pen/Strep. In total 14 infections were performed with mosquitoes fed on sugar (3 of these resulted in no infected midguts) and 20 infections with mosquitoes fed on PAPA+Pen/Strep. During each infection between 50 and 250 mosquitoes were investigated. Data shown are mean ± standard deviation. |
