Plasmodium falciparum infection stage affects antennal transcript abundance in Anopheles gambiae. Principal component analysis (a) of the overall transcript abundance in the antennae of midgut oocyst-infected (7 days post-infection, dpi) and salivary gland sporozoite-infectious (14 dpi) mosquitoes compared to age-matched uninfected mosquitoes (7 days control, dc and 14 dc). Plasmodium falciparum infection load is indicated (see Supplementary Fig. 1). Proportional Venn diagrams (b, c) depicting pairwise comparisons among the antennal transcriptomes of midgut oocyst-infected, salivary gland sporozoite-infectious, and age-matched uninfected females. Overlapping regions represent the subsets of transcripts that are shared between the different conditions. Significant differences in transcript abundance were determined as a fold change of greater than 1.5, and an FDR-corrected p-value < 0.05.
