Effect of AsHPX15 silencing on Plasmodium berghei development in Anopheles stephensi. (A) Relative abundance of AsHPX15 mRNA in control (dsLacZ) and silenced (dsAsHPX15) midguts that were collected 24 h post P. berghei infection. (B) Effect of AsHPX15 silencing on the number of live oocysts (green dots) in 7 days post infected blood fed midguts. Dots represent the number of parasites present in individual midguts, and the median number of oocysts is indicated by the horizontal line. Distributions are compared using the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test (p = 0.027); n = number of mosquitoes. (C) Representative A. stephensi midgut showing P. berghei oocysts in dsLacZ or dsHPX15-injected mosquitoes.
