Structure and expression of <i>Rhodnius prolixus</i> GH18 chitinases and chitinase-like proteins: Characterization of the physiological role of <i>RpCht7</i>, a gene from subgroup VIII, in vector fitness and reproduction.

Nevertheless, in an independent series of experiments, registering only the total numbers of eggs produced by each female after their death, we observed a highly significant and consistent decrease ( p < 0.0005; unpaired T-test) in the number of eggs laid by females injected with ds RpCht7 (average 39) when compared to females injected with ds GFP (average 18).
