Three age cohorts from two <jats:italic>Cx. p. quinquefasciatus<\/jats:italic> colonies were fed blood containing a low- or high-virus dose, and each group was held at two different extrinsic incubation temperatures (EIT) for 13 days. The colonies differed in the way that they responded to the effects of the environment on vector competence. The effects of mosquito age on aspects of vector competence were dependent on the EIT and dose, and they changed depending on the colony. Complex interactions must be considered in laboratory studies of vector competence, because the extent of the genetic and environmental variation controlling vector competence in nature is largely unknown. Differences in the environmental (EIT and dose) and biological (mosquito age and colony) effects from previous studies of <jats:italic>Cx. p. quinquefasciatus<\/jats:italic> vector competence for St. Louis encephalitis virus are discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.2010.09-0776","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,7,1]],"date-time":"2010-07-01T16:25:01Z","timestamp":1278001501000},"page":"126-134","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":39,"title":["Environmental
