marginally significantp = 0.05
The median peak titer showed a marginally significant difference among the three treatment groups (Kruskal–Wallis test, DF = 2, p = 0.05) and a Wilcoxon post-hoc test showed that peak titer was significantly lower in mice fed upon by one mosquito (5.5 log 10 ffu/mL) than mice fed upon by six to nine mosquitoes (6.4 log 10 ffu/mL), while the peak titer in mice fed upon by two to four mosquitoes (6.3 log 10 ffu/mL) was intermediate to, and did not differ significantly from, the other two groups.
