From: Genetics and immunity of Anopheles response to the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae overlap with immunity to Plasmodium

Figure 3

Functional partners of Mal2 locus LRR genes also participate in antifungal protection. Graphs illustrate mortality curves of female mosquitoes after gene silencing followed or not with fungal infection. (A) Silencing of Tep1 gene expression followed by infection with M. anisopliae (B) Silencing of Tep1 gene expression without fungal infection (C) Silencing of TEP3 and Tep4 gene expression followed by M. anisopliae infection (D) Silencing of TEP3 and Tep4 gene expression without fungal infection. P-values obtained from Cox Regression are given in brackets in the legend. Error bars represent the variability between three independent biological replicates. For each tested gene, 50 mosquitoes were tested in each of three biological replicates.
