Transmission electron microscopy of mock and ZIKV infected midgut and greasy bodies from A. aegypti. A Panoramic image of polarized cells from the insect midgut showing unaltered organelles as mitochondria and ER; B Clusters of ZIKV (arrows) were observed in the tissue of infected mosquito; C Arrow points to a ZIKV-containing cisternae; D Fatty bodies tissue presenting ER profiles; E ER-containing ZIKV particles (arrow) in fatty bodies of infected mosquitoes. (ER) Endoplasmic reticulum; (m) mitochondria; (Mi) Luminal microvilli. Bars: A-B 2 μm; C, E 500 nm; D 1 μm
