    Infection status of wild caught <i>Ae. albopictus</i> as determined with standard PCR [11].

    No full text
    <p>A−B+ and A+B+ refer to <i>w</i>AlbB singly infected and <i>w</i>AlbA/<i>w</i>AlbB co-infected mosquitoes, respectively. Differences between male and female infection patterns were analysed using Fisher's exact test (<i>p</i>-values are reported for each sample, in italics when significant).</p

    Mean <i>Wolbachia</i> density in wild specimens from La RĂ©union Island.

    <p>Each DNA was quantified in triplicate and the average density was calculated for each specimen. Mean density in the population is reported for each sex and is depicted in black for <i>w</i>AlbA and grey for <i>w</i>AlbB. Standard error is calculated on the mean of all average densities (males N = 15, females N = 10).</p

    <p>In each confrontation, 200 field females were mixed with each of the four following field to LR[<i>w</i>Pip(Is)] males ratios: 1:0 (200 field males), 1:1 (200 field males and 200 LR[<i>w</i>Pip(Is)] males), 1:5 (200 field males and 1000 LR[<i>w</i>Pip(Is)] males) and 0:1 (200 LR[<i>w</i>Pip(Is)] males). The trials of the 1:0 and 0:1 ratios were performed in April; two trials for the 1:1 ratio were performed in April and four in December; whilst for the 1:5 ratio two trials were performed in April and three in December. Expected frequency of infertile egg rafts (in black) was calculated assuming equal competitiveness of LR[<i>w</i>Pip(Is)] and field males. Total embryonic mortality (HR = 0%) was noted in all infertile egg rafts.</p
