Paired-end sequencing Malpighian tubules Aedes albopictus before and at 3 h, 12 h, and 24 h after blood feeding
The experimental design consisted of two treatments and three levels per treatment. Treatments were 1) Malpighian tubules from blood fed (BF) females, and 2) non-blood fed (NBF) females. NBF females were offered soaked cotton with 10% sucrose solution instead of the blood meal. The levels are represented by time points, 3 h, 12 h, and 24 h, when mosquitoes were dissected after treatment.
