Phenotype correlation analysis.

To identify potential correlations of Ae aegypti susceptibility to dengue virus infection with measures of nucleotide and amino acid diversity in RNAi genes, Pearson correlation analyses were performed between DENV-2 MIB (the proportion of orally virus-exposed female mosquitoes that fail to develop a midgut infection) and MEB (the proportion of females with a midgut infection that fail to develop a disseminated infection) with p (number of nucleotide differences per site between all sequence pairs), k (number of nucleotide differences between all sequence pairs), KA (number of nucleotide differences among replacement sites), KS (number of nucleotide differences among synonymous sites) and KA/KS. Pearson correlation coefficients are shown.*P≤0.05,**P≤0.01.
