Figure 6: AgIr93a is required to maintain close-range host attraction and promote blood feeding.

Figure 6:

(A) Host attraction assay. (B) Average +/− SEM. 41–76 females/assay. wild type, n=10 assays. AgIr93aTM2-RFP/AgIr93aTM2-EYFP, n=6. AgIr93apore-RFP/AgIr93apore-EYFP, n=7. (C) Tracings of mosquito locations and behaviors from assay videos 240s post-hand presentation. (D-E) Mosquitoes landed under hand 60s (ANOVA, p=0.851) (D) and 240–300s post-hand presentation (letters denote distinct groups, Tukey HSD, alpha=0.01) (E). (F) Animals in flight 240s post-hand presentation. Tukey HSD, alpha=0.05. (G) Blood feeding assay, with human blood meal behind collagen membrane. (H) Blood consumption. 47–76 females/assay. wild type, n=11 assays. AgIr21a+7bp, n=9. AgIr93aTM2– RFP/AgIr93aTM2-EYFP, n=5. AgIr93apore-RFP/AgIr93apore-EYFP, n=11. Steel-Dwass, p<0.05.
