Effect of dsRNA treatment on amount of nutrients in Aedes aegypti females. (A) Protein and (B) lipid amounts in carcasses from females treated with dsRNA before blood feeding (white bars), in carcasses (without ovaries) from females treated with dsRNA, 24 h after blood feeding (dark gray bars), and in ovaries from females treated with dsRNA, 24 h after blood feeding (striped bars). Within grouped bars for each figure, columns with different letters are significantly different (from linear contrast test P<0.001). Error bars represent s.e.m.
