From: The w MelPop strain of Wolbachia interferes with dopamine levels in Aedes aegypti
Expression analysis of genes involved in the dopamine pathway. (A) Simplified dopamine pathway involving the enzymes phenoloxidase (PO), Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and DOPA-decarboxylase. (B-F) Quantitative PCR of Ebony, DDC and ppo genes in Wolbachia-infected (Wolb+) and uninfected (Wolb-) A. aegypti mosquito heads of three different ages (5, 15 and 30 days-old) (n = 5 for each time point). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 and ***P < 0.001.
