MYD88 and infection: We observed a knockdown efficiency of ~65% in mosquitoes knocked down for Myd88 compared to the GFP knockdown group (Figure 4B; **p = 0.0044) and significantly higher infection and transmission rates (Figure 4C; **p = 0.0056 and *p = 0.0353, respectively) in Myd88 knockdown group compared to the controls.
