Table 1 Infection, dissemination and transmission rate: calculated from prevalence of viral nucleic acid presence in the dissected midguts and carcasses and prevalence of CPE by saliva samples
From: Zika vector transmission risk in temperate Australia: a vector competence study

Aedes notoscriptus | 12/35 (34.3%) | 2/59 (3.4%) | 24/57 (42.1%) |
Aedes camptorhynchus | 5/18 (27.8%) | 5/40 (12.5%) | 5/37 (13.5%) |
Aedes albopictus | 19/26 (73.1% | 19/26 (73.1%) | 20/26 (76.9%) |
Culex annulirostris | 0/32 (0%) | 0/32 (0%) | 0/32 (0%) |
