Immune-related transcripts differentially accumulated between blood- and sugar-fed Aedes aegypti females. Transcripts were classified based on categories established by comparative genomic analyses in silico [46, 51, 52]. (A) Percentage distributions of all transcripts (n = 477) with a putative or characterized Anti-Pathogen (AP) function and only those AP that are differentially-expressed (DE) (n = 167). (B) Percentage distribution with respect to the total of 167 DE immunity transcripts that increase (up) or decrease (down) in abundance at 5 hours PBM. Significant enrichments in number of transcripts per class are indicated by the asterisks (* p < 0.05; ** P < 0.001).
