Fig. 1From: Novel factors of Anopheles gambiae haemocyte immune response to Plasmodium berghei infectionCorrelation between prevalence of live oocysts and melanised ookinetes. A. Oocyst prevalence data from the first round of screening of 39 dsRNA targeting 37 genes sorted from highest (100 %) to lowest (37.50 %). Linear regression and correlation between prevalence of live oocysts and melanised ookinetes assessed in: B, 22 groups of mosquitoes injected with dsLacZ, which were used as controls in the four rounds of screenings (correlation coefficients: Pearson r: −0.1686; Spearman r: −0.2376, P = 0.2869); C, 10 groups of mosquitoes injected with dsRNAs that showed effects on parasite development (correlation coefficients: Pearson r: −0.6351; Spearman r: −0.6991, P = 0.027) and D, 29 groups of mosquitoes injected with dsRNAs that did not show effects on parasite development (correlation coefficients: Pearson r: −0.1912; Spearman r: −0.2727, P = 0.1523). Insets in graphs B, C and D report Pearson R2 values and the relative statistical significance (P)Back to article page
