From: The relevance and applicability of oocyst prevalence as a read-out for mosquito feeding assays
Oocyst prevalence and intensity for experimental feeds utilising the NF54 P. falciparum strain conducted in the mosquito infectivity unit at RUMC, Nijmegen between 2011 and 2013.
Each data point represents the mean oocyst intensity and oocyst prevalence in a single group of mosquitoes. Criteria for inclusion in these figures were sample size (>10 mosquitoes), parasite strain (NF54 strain only) and mosquito species. Data were collected from both experimental and control feeds between 6 and 9 days PI. In total 1323 separate experimental feeds comprising 21240 mosquito dissections are shown (1233 experimental feeds with A. stephensi, 90 experimental feeds with A. gambiae).
