Comparison of dengue virus RNA copy numbers in Aedes aegypti and Japanese Ae. albopictus colonies. Plots showing the copy numbers of dengue virus (DENV) RNA in the thorax and abdomen (A) and the head, wings, and legs (B) of individual mosquitoes of the Aedes aegypti (Aae) HCM and Ae. albopictus (Aal) IKT and BSD colonies 14 days after infection with each DENV serotype. Bars represent the mean with a 95% confidence interval. Statistical analyses were performed using the Mann–Whitney U test with Bonferroni correction. **, P < 0.0001; *, P < 0.001; ns, no significant differences (P > 0.01)
