Transmission electron microscopy of mock and ZIKV infected head from A. aegypti. In non-infected insects, arrowheads point to muscular structures in the mosquito’s eyes longitudinally (A), and transversely (B) sectioned; (C) Granules of different sizes and amorphous shape (arrowheads) were also noted in the head of non-infected mosquitoes; Also in this tissue, viral nucleocapsids of 40 nm in diameter were observed surrounded by membrane profiles (arrows) (D-E), and within vacuoles (F-H). Bars: (A-C) 500 nm; (D-E, H) 200 nm; (F) 1 μm
