Transcription factor aaREL2 is upregulated in response to blood-feeding in the midgut of mosquitoes. Gene expression of the three main mosquito immune pathways was evaluated by qPCR in multiple tissues 24 h post blood-feeding. a aaREL1. b aaCactus. c aaMYD88. d aaSerpin. e aaREL2. f aaIMD. g aaDefensin. h aaSTAT. i TEP. Relative expression was calculated using the ddCt method using the lower tissue expression as reference. RP49 gene was used as a reference gene. We performed One-way ANOVA Tukey multiple comparison test for statistical analyses. Abbreviations: Hd, Head; Cc, carcass; Mg, Midgut; Ov, ovary; Tx, thorax
