From: Detection of viable Plasmodium ookinetes in the midguts of Anopheles coluzzi using PMA-qrtPCR
SOAP mRNA persistence in the An. coluzzii midgut and hemolymph. Agarose gel electrophoresis images of Plasmodium SOAP gene transcrips in An. coluzzii mosquitoes. Heat-killed or live P. berghei or P. yoelii ookinetes were delivered to mosquitoes either by addition to the blood meal or injection into the haemolymph. RT-PCR assays were carried our on whole mosquito RNAs prepared at 0, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24 and 48Â h post ookinete ingestion or injection (hpi)
