Figure 3. RNAi and qrt-PCR based screening of 19 genes for antiviral function in A. gambiae mosquitoes.

Figure 3

Mosquitoes were injected with dsRNA and ∼3000 PFU of 5′ONNVie-eGFP concurrently, 30 mosquitoes were collected at 7 DPI, and qrt-PCR was used to ascertain viral genome copy number/mosquito. Values were normalised relative to the LacZ (non-specific) control and are given as a percentage relative to the LacZ titre. nsP3, a viral gene was included in the screen. Genes are divided into functional categories based on which immune signalling pathway they belong to, or their putative function. Genes with an asterisk* were selected for further characterisation.
