Expression of AaFAS1 in sugar-fed and blood-fed mosquitoes. a Schematic of the experimental design. Mosquitoes were reared in three different conditions: sugar-fed only, one blood meal, which were fed on day zero, and two blood meals, which were again fed on day 3. Mosquitoes in all conditions were also allowed access to additional sugar and water all the time throughout the experiment. Five mosquitoes from each condition were collected on different days post first blood meal feeding designated in letters A–K. b AaFAS1 expression profile (2−ΔCt; normalized to actin) of each sampling group were shown. c Expression of AaFAS1 was measured by the comparative expression (2−ΔΔCt) method. The samples used for comparisons are shown on the X-axis. Boxes show the 25th and 75th percentiles, whiskers show the minimum and maximum values, and the midline shows the median of the relative gene expression value
