Explained variance and statistical significance of mosquito species (Species), Wetland, Locality, Season and Year in relation to the presence of bird, mammal, human and horse blood in female mosquitoes.

<p>Explained variance and statistical significance of mosquito species (Species), Wetland, Locality, Season and Year in relation to the presence of bird, mammal, human and horse blood in female mosquitoes.</p

Origin of blood meals of the five mosquito species analysed in the three different wetlands in SW Spain.

<p>Only the main bird and mammal species are shown. Numbers above bars indicate the number of bloodmeals per mosquito species obtained for each sampled wetland. Percentage of blood meals for each vertebrate species/group are give as numbers inside the bars when higher than 5%. Only species/wetlands with more than 10 bloodmeals were included in the figure.</p

Rarefaction curves of the number of host species detected in relation to the number of female mosquito blood meals analysed.

WNV transmission risks for each different mosquito species estimated from the 12 sampling sites for birds, horses and humans.

<p>For localities with the same estimates dots have been slightly displaced horizontally to avoid complete symbol overlapping. Solid circles indicate those mosquito species and sampling sites in which WNV has been reported in mosquitoes (Vázquez et al. <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0039549#pone.0039549-Vzquez1" target="_blank">[20]</a>, <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0039549#pone.0039549-Vzquez2" target="_blank">[21]</a>). Estimates are reported for 4 localities for <i>Cx. modestus</i>, 4 for <i>Cx. perexiguus</i>, 5 for <i>Cx. pipiens</i>, 10 for <i>Cx. theileri</i>, and 10 for <i>Oc. caspius</i>. One was added to all estimates to allow plotting on a log10 scale.</p

Origin of the blood meals identified in five different mosquito species during 2007–2009.

<p>The number of blood meals on horses and humans are also included in the mammal data.</p

Sampling sites in the study area in SW Spain (the three studied wetlands were: Odiel, La Janda and Doñana – see text for details).
