Fig. 2From: Transient knockdown of Anopheles stephensi LRIM1 using RNAi increases Plasmodium falciparum sporozoite salivary gland infectionsRelative transcript levels of immune genes in adult female Anopheles stephensi. LRIM1, APL1C, TEP1 and Caspar in the midgut (a–c) and carcass (d–f) of female Anopheles stephensi 24 h (a, d), 48 h (b, e) and 72 h (c, f) after feeding on blood with (black bars) or without (gray bars) Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes. Bars represent mean of triplicate experiments ± standard error of mean. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.02; ***p < 0.01. Asterisks above each bar show comparison to baseline; asterisks above horizontal lines show comparison between treatments. Transcript levels are reported as a fold expression compared to naïve non-blood fed femalesBack to article page
