From: Late-phase immune responses limiting oocyst survival are independent of TEP1 function yet display strain specific differences in Anopheles gambiae

Silencing of STAT-A abrogates late-phase immunity in the TEP1 mutant line. Midgut oocyst numbers were examined at day 2 and day 8 following P. berghei infection in the TEP1 mutant line after either injection of dsGFP (control) or dsSTAT-A. A significant reduction in oocyst numbers occurs between day 2 and day 8 for the control, while silencing of STAT-A impairs the effects of late-phase immunity on oocysts survival. Oocyst numbers were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis with a Dunn’s post-hoc test. Asterisks denote significance (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01). Abbreviation: ns, not significant
