Delivery of Sh.463 siRNA as an ATSB induces high adult mortality.
A. Sh.463 siRNA consumed as an ATSB by adult females induced significantly high adult mortality in comparison to sugar bait alone (Sugar) or sugar bait with control siRNA (Control). *** = P<0.001 vs. both Sugar and Control, which were not significantly different from each other; error bars represent SEM. B. A survival curve for adults that fed on sugar bait, control siRNA sugar bait, or Sh.463 sugar bait is shown. C. The delivery system for sugar bait marked with blue tracer dye is shown. D. An A. aegypti female feeding from the sugar bait station is observed.
