Induction of short PGRPs in Ae. aegypti mosquitoes at the early stages of fungal infection. Gene expression profiles of PGRP-S1 and PGRP-SC2 in mosquito whole-bodies infected with either B. bassiana or I. javanica, evaluated at 48, 60, and 72 h PI. Each dot represents a pool of five mosquitoes and the horizontal red bar indicates the median level of expression from two independent experiments. The statistical significance of fold change values was determined on log₂-transformed values via ANOVA followed by Dunn's multiple comparison test. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001.
