Probing time experiments. (A) Female mosquito is placed in a meshed cage on an anesthetized mouse. (B) Penetration (black), probing (red), interprobing (blue), and feeding (pink) times for wild-type Aedes aegypti (n = 40). Bars show medians with 95% confidence interval (CI). For plotting and analysis purposes, the maximum experimental time was designated at 300 sec (*). (C) Extracted frames from Supplemental Movie S1 showing penetration, probing, and feeding times.
