Infection, dissemination and transmission rates in Cairns Ae. aegypti 14 days after exposure to 1997/98 and 2008/09 strains of dengue virus type 3, as determined using a cell culture-enzyme immunoassay and the monoclonal antibody, 4G2.

See Materials and Methods section for details on conduct of the three trials.aTiter (log10CCID50/mL) of the infectious blood meal to which mosquitoes were exposed.bPercentage of mosquitoes containing virus in their bodies (number positive/number tested).cPercentage of mosquitoes containing virus in their legs and wings (number positive/number tested).dPercentage of mosquito expectorates in which virus was detected (number of positive expectorates/number tested).eP value calculated by Fisher’s Exact test.
