Newly emerged virgin male adult mosquitoes were fed overnight on 5% sugar solution containing 107 AS1-multi bacteria/ml and placed with females. Three days later, 10 females were assayed for the presence of Serratia AS1 by plating midgut, ovary, and spermatheca homogenates on apramycin/ampicillin agar plates and colonies were counted. Transgenic mosquito: Mg/Sg/E. Mated females were used as controls as female mosquitoes mate only once in their lifetimes. Data pooled from three independent experiments. Mean ± SD.
