Summary of morphological changes in the posterior midguts of non-transgenic (NTG), homozygous (HM), and heterozygous (HT) myrAkt <i>An. stephensi</i> females at 3 d and 18 d post emergence.

*<p>Under this category, we included vacuoles with electron dense content and small and large autophagosomes with membrane material (e.g., membrane, mitochondrial remnants). To count a midgut as containing autophagosomes, two 95% confidence intervals (CI) were constructed using NTG values at 3 and 18 d ([4.4, 17.9] and [7.7, 33.8]). The numerator indicates the number of midguts that contained a number of autophagosomes above the highest 95%CI limit. The denominator indicates the number of midguts evaluated for each condition. Using the Chi-square test, NTG versus HT, NTG versus HM, and HT versus HM were significantly different at <i>P</i><0.002.
