wMel influences the median development time of juvenile males and females Brazilian Ae. aegypti mosquitoes. Box and whisker plots depicting the median pupation time in days for a, female; b, male wMel-infected (+) and uninfected (−) Ae. aegypti mosquitoes. Green boxes represent the lower density, blue and red boxes the intermediate and higher densities, respectively. Female wMel-infected mosquitoes developed faster than uninfected in the intermediate (Mann-Whitney U test, U = 16,957, df = 1, P = 0.0021) and high-density conditions (Mann-Whitney U test, U = 99,639, df = 1, P < 0.0001). Low density had no difference in the median development time between groups (Mann-Whitney U test, U = 9590, df = 1, P = 0.2404). For males, the same pattern occurred with the intermediate (Mann-Whitney U test, U = 26,399, df = 1, P = 0.0202) and high-density conditions (Mann-Whitney U test, U = 120,849, df = 1, P < 0.0001). While at the low-density condition, uninfected individuals developed faster (Mann-Whitney U test, U = 11,952, df = 1, P = 0.0016). Data were pooled from two independent biological replicates. The total number of mosquitoes analyzed (nindiv.) is indicated above each group. (BMP 11747 kb)
