Probing time on mice is prolonged by reduced Aegyptin in transgenic mosquitoes. Probing time was significantly longer in dsAegyptin mosquitoes then in controls (n = 24, P < 0.0001). Transgenic mosquitoes expressing dsRNAi had the first sign of blood in their midgut at least 78 s from insertion of their mouth part in the host’s skin, whereas control mosquitoes were able to start ingesting blood at 15–21 s. dsAegyptin mosquitoes with a probing time of more than 300 s were not included in the statistical analysis. Horizontal bars represent the median value. ****P < 0.0001.
