Fig 5. Histone hyperacetylation in ZIKV-infected mosquitoes induces immune responses and suppresses virus infection.

Fig 5

A-E. Fifty adult female mosquitoes were infected with ZIKV and treated with 0.5 M NaB for three days. A-C. The expression of defensin A, defensin C, and cecropin D, in whole mosquito tissues was measured by qRT-PCR. qRT-PCR was performed on 3 independent biological replicates. D and E. Midguts or fat bodies from ZIKV-infected mosquitoes treated with NaB were assessed for infection intensity at 7 or 15 days post infection. Bars indicate the standard error of the mean; statistical analyses were performed by Student’s t test. *, p <0.05; **, p < 0.01.
