Fecundity in <i>M</i>. <i>domestica</i> injected with 5 μg of dsRNA constructs designed against <i>Ae</i>. <i>aegypti</i> RPS6 (ds<i>Aa</i>RPS6) and <i>M</i>. <i>domestica</i> dsRPS6 7 days post-injection.

<p>Numbers of eggs laid by the ds<i>Aa</i>RPS6 and dsRPS6 treatments were normalized against the control (dsGFP) treatment as partial egg clutches were collected. Significant reduction when compared to dsGFP was seen in the fly dsRPS6 treatment but not in the mosquito ds<i>Aa</i>RPS6, thereby showing a species specific RNAi response. Error bars represent mean±SE and * represents significance at P<0.05. Numbers at the base of columns indicate the total number of individuals injected. Data represents 3 replicate experiments.
