Additional file 4: of Competence of mosquitoes native to the United Kingdom to support replication and transmission of Rift Valley fever virus

Table S1. Viral RNA and infectious viral titres within the bodies, legs and saliva of UK mosquitoes infected with RVFV. Mosquitoes were fed a blood meal containing 106 or 107 PFU/ml RVFV strain Lunyo or ZH501 and maintained at 20 or 25 °C. Results are based on the mean log10-transformed qRT-PCR results reported in genome equivalent copies (GEC) and plaque assay results reported in plaque forming units (PFU). Day 0 was excluded from the totals. Abbreviations: nt, not tested; n, number tested; dpi, day post-infection. Dose range based on infectious titres obtained in pre and post feed blood samples.
