JAK/STAT pathway activity promotes AnCPV infection in Anopheles coluzzii. Effect of STAT-A silencing on AnCPV prevalence is indicated as a proportion in two biological replicates ((A) replicate 1, (B) replicate 2). dsSTAT-A indicates mosquitoes injected with double-stranded RNA directed against STAT-A transcript, and dsGFP indicates mosquitoes injected with irrelevant dsRNA. X-axis, dsRNA treatment, y-axis, AnCPV infection prevalence. (n) indicates the total number of mosquitoes for each of the 2 replicates. Statistical differences were first tested independently within replicates by the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test using 100,000 permutations to assess the p-value (given above each plot). Individual replicates displayed a consistent direction of change, and consequently individual p-values were combined using the method of Fisher to generate a combined p-value (combined p = 0.02, chi-square = 11.4, df = 4).
