Correlation 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)
