Figure 4

Influence of Pe. chrysogenum on in vitro Plasmodium development and ookinete viability.

(A) No difference in in vitro P. berghei ookinete development or viability was observed between Pe. chrysogenum conidia-supplemented ookinete cultures (N = 18, P = 0.5521) and non-Pe. chrysogenum-exposed control cultures (N = 9). (B) No difference in in vitro P. berghei ookinete development or viability was observed between Pe. chrysogenum culture filtrate-supplemented cultures (N = 15, P = 0.8321) and non-supplemented control cultures (N = 12). Values are arbitrary fluorescence; three biological replicates were performed, bars represent standard error of the mean (SEM), two-tailed unpaired t-test.
