Fig 5. Internal tissues labeled with both Rho-functionalized CPH:SA and CPTEG:CPH nanoparticles via treated-surface contact.

Fig 5

A) Rho labeling was apparent throughout various explored tissues by both nanoparticle chemistries. Arrows represent tissues with high levels of labeling compared to the control. B) Mean value fluorescence of tissue samples from mosquitoes exposed to a particle-treated surface. Letters A-D represent statistically significant differences between fluorescence intensity among various tissues and particle exposures according to an ANOVA with a Bonferroni post-hoc analysis (α = 0.05) to assess differences among treatment groups and tissues. Malpighian tubules were labeled most intensely as compared to other tissues, and CPTEG:CPH was more often observed in internal tissues, in general, compared with CPH:SA particles.
