Characterization of a dual-action adulticidal and larvicidal interfering RNA pesticide targeting the Shaker gene of multiple disease vector mosquitoes
Fig 6
Sh.463 is a broad-range mosquito pesticide.
Consumption of Sh.463 IRP yeast (A-C) induces high levels of mortality in A. albopictus (A), A. gambiae (B), and C. quinquefasciatus (C) larvae. Injection of Sh.463 siRNA induces mortality in A. albopictus (D), A. gambiae (E), and C. quinquefasciatus (F) adult females (see Methods for dosage information). The data are represented as mean mosquito mortality, and error bars denote SEM. *** = P<0.001 when compared with control-treated mosquitoes.
