Table 2. Variable success rates of two gene targets in amplifying and sequencing plant DNA in the crop of different mosquito species.
Mosquito species | N | Amplified (Sequenced) | |
---|---|---|---|
trnH-psbA (total (success)) | matK (total (success)) | ||
Aedes aegypti | 42 | 8 (6) | 0 (0) |
Aedes mcintoshi | 38 | 2 (2) | 2 (0) |
Aedes ochraceus | 32 | 11 (3) | 9 (0) |
Anopheles gambiae s.l. | 35 | 18 (15) | 3 (3) |
Overall | 147 | 39 (26) | 14 (3) |
N = number of mosquitoes from which plant DNA were extracted.
