From: The sterilizing effect of pyriproxyfen on the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae: physiological impact on ovaries development

Figure 1

Description of treatments to test the following hypotheses: 1) PPF has an irreversible structural damage on ovaries and females can no longer lay eggs (over multiple gonotrophic cycles) after being in contact once with the chemical (Treatments A and B); 2) When the ovaries are fully developed and females have laid eggs (parous) before any contact with PPF, subsequent contact with the chemical has only minor effect on successive ovipositions (Treatment C).
