  1. 1The total number of reads (in parentheses) identified in libraries prepared from blood- (B) and sugar-fed (S) mosquitoes.
  2. 2Normalized log2 fold changes.
  3. 3Normalized expression value as 2ΔCT, with the expression of the rp49 gene used to normalize values. Normalized expression values for blood-fed (B) and sugar-fed (S) mosquitoes were obtained as an average (±standard deviation) over four biological samples.
  4. 4Average fold changes as log2 (normalized expression value B/normalized expression value S). The significance of the difference in expression value between B and S mosquitoes was calculated using the t-test. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01.
