knockdown (silencing) of gene expression (RNA interference) results in a significant reduction of melanization of Sephadex beads at 24 h after injection. The average proportion of mosquitoes that completely melanized beads is 28% compared with 64% when the control green fluorescent protein is injected | Anopheles gambiae |
