Effect of uninfected and P. berghei-infected blood meal on Asaia density and immune genes expression in An. stephensi. Evaluation of the fluctuations of Asaia density in mosquitoes challenged with the two doses of Asa4 (A) and Asa8 (B) and the related modulation of immune effectors after uninfected and infected blood meal (C, D, E, and F). Shown values represent the relative genes expression normalized on the reference gene RpS7 and against the calibrator represented by sugar-fed controls (relative expression of sugar-fed mosquitoes in Figure S1-A). The statistical differences of Asaia density and the expression level of the genes in the groups were calculated by two-way ANOVA test and the Bonferroni post-hoc test. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
