TABLE 2.

Three replicate intrathoracic injection experiments indicate no effect of sfRNA on postmidgut dissemination of WNV in C. pipiens mosquitoes^a

Virus	Replicate	n	Positive bodies (no.)	Positive saliva (no.)	Infection (%)	Transmission (%)	Dissemination (%)
WNV_IC	1	15	15	15	100	100	100
	2	13	13	11	100	85	85
	3	6	6	6	100	100	100
	Total	34	34	32	100	94	94
WNVΔSF1	1	19	19	17	100	89	89
	2	21	21	18	100	86	86
	3	10	10	10	100	100	100
	Total	50	50	45	100	90	90

Shown are infection, transmission, and dissemination rates of C. pipiens mosquitoes that were intrathoracically injected with either WNV_IC or WNVΔSF1. In addition, the sample size (n) and absolute numbers of positive bodies and saliva samples are shown for each replicate.
