Figure Lengend Snippet: Susceptibility of adult Ae. aegypti mosquitoes to rVSV (A–D) Twelve mosquitoes were microinjected (A and B) or blood-fed (C and D) with increasing doses of rVSV (A and C) Infection rate was determined as the number of infected mosquitoes relative to the total number of mosquitoes ( n = 3). (B and D) The viral titers of individual mosquito were determined by TCID 50 assay at 7 dpi. Data are presented as mean ± SD. (E–H) Tissue preference of rVSV infection in mosquitoes. Six-day-old female adults were blood-fed with 1 × 10 8 FFU/mL rVSV. Total RNAs from eight tissues of fifteen mosquitoes were extracted at 7 dpi, and the viral RNAs were detected by real-time qPCR (E). Total RNAs from midguts (F), ovaries (G), and fat bodies (H) of eight mosquitoes were extracted at different days after infection, and the viral RNA was detected by real-time qPCR. Control (Con.) represents uninfected mosquito groups.

(B) The growth curves of rVSV and rVSV-FoxO in Vero cells at an MOI of 0.01 ( n = 3, unpaired t test, two-sided). (C–F) Six-day-old females were blood-fed with rVSV-FoxO or rVSV diluted to 1 × 10 8 FFU/mL. Con. was fed with medium. Total RNAs were extracted from 8 mosquitoes (C), 8 midguts (D), 8 ovaries (E), or 8 fat bodies (F) at indicated dpi, and the FoxO expression was measured by real-time qPCR. Data are presented as mean ± SD of triplicate measurements ( n = 3). (G and H) Ten mosquitoes per group were treated with iFoxO and iGFP via microinjection or infected with rVSV-FoxO (rFoxO) and rVSV via blood feeding. Western blotting of these mosquito homogenates was performed using anti-FoxO or anti-GAPDH antibodies. (I) Band intensities of FoxO in (H) were quantified using LiCor Image Studio and normalized to GAPDH. Results are shown as mean ± SD from three independent experiments ( n = 3 biologically independent mixtures; two-way ANOVA test followed by Tukey’s post hoc tests).
