The length distribution of small RNAs from different samples. Mosquitoes of the two strains (J, Jiego strain; M, Mengding strain) fed either a ZIKA-infected blood meal (zikv group) or a non-infected blood meal [control group (c)] were dissected at the indicated time points [2, 4, 6 days after being fed the blood meal (2d, 4d, 6d, respectively)]. Different tissues (m, midgut; sg, salivary gland) were collected for RNA extraction and sequencing. Color-coded stacked bars are designated into four segments indicating the strain (J or M), the number of dpi (2d, 4d, 6d), tissue type (m or sg) and experimental group (zikv or c)
