Growth characteristics of DENV-2 and AaeDV in monoinfection and superinfection treatments. RNA and DNA samples were prepared from cells and culture supernatant at different time points post infection, and qPCR assays were used to measure levels of DENV-2 RNA and AaeDV DNA. Intracellular levels of DENV-2 (A) and AaeDV (B) in monoinfection and superinfection treatments, respectively. Intracellular levels of DENV-2 and AaeDV were normalized to rps7 mRNA in the same sample. Relative levels of DENV-2 (C) and AaeDV (D) in the supernatant of monoinfection and superinfection treatments. The relative level at 12 hpi was set as 1. The data presented are from a representative experiment that was repeated three times with similar results. Error bars represent the standard deviation
