Enzyme and sugar measures. A Measures of α-glucosidase in adult mosquitoes fed 5% sucrose, 10% sucrose, 5% erythritol, 10% erythritol, and 5% erythritol + 5% sucrose. Spectra values were graphed with I-bars as standard error of the mean. Kruskal–Wallis with Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were not significant (H5,35 = 3.0432, P < 0.6933). B Free glucose measures in mosquitoes fed water (H2O), 5% sucrose (5%S), 10% sucrose (10%S), 5% erythritol (5%E), 10% erythritol (10%E), and 5% erythritol + 5% sucrose (5%E + 5%S). Glucose per mosquito was estimated using the standard curve glucose controls run on the same reaction plate. Bar graphs with I-bars as standard error of the mean. Groups annotated for Kruskal–Wallis and Wilcoxon signed-rank (H5,24 = 25.878, P < 0.0005) between treatment effects
