The table shows the nominal logistic regression for the proportion of (a) mosquitoes with detectable viral RNA in their bodies (thorax+abdomen) and (b) infected mosquitoes (excluding uninfected) with a disseminated infection in their head/legs (determined by FFA in Vero cells) as a function of mosquito isofemale families, virus isolates, experimental blocks, and their interactions.
