Figure 1

Approximate time lines of different developmental stages for A. aegypti. The numbers of differentially expressed genes (DETs) associated with specific developmental stages are shown by horizontal arrows. The developmental periods compared in the study are shown. Egg hatch occurred within an ~6 h window. The early stage larvae primarily represented L2 stage larvae with some L3 stage. The late-stage larvae represented 5th day post egg hatch and were all L4 stage. The early pupae stage was day 7 when newly emerged pupae (<2 h) were collected. The late pupae stage was just before adult eclosion (~ within 2 h post tanning) on the 9th day. The 10th day after egg hatch represented the first day of adult emergence.
