Prevalence and oocyst intensity in An. stephensi and An. gambiae mosquitoes. a Mean oocysts intensity (dots) with 95% confidence intervals (lines) in An. gambiae depending on mean oocyst intensity with 95% confidence intervals for An. stephensi, for control groups (grey), mAb Pfs48/45-85RF45.1 (blue), mAb Pfs48/45-85RF45.5 (red), mAb Pfs25-32F81 (green) and mAb Pfs25-4B7 (black). b Mean prevalence in oocysts (dots) with 95% confidence intervals (lines) in An. gambiae depending on mean prevalence with 95% confidence intervals for An. stephensi. Same color codes as for panel a. c Relationship between oocysts prevalence and intensity for An. stephensi (blue) and An. gambiae (green). The line and shaded area represent the predicted relationship and predicted confidence interval. Each data point represents the mean oocyst intensity and oocyst prevalence in a single group of mosquitoes. The size of each data point represents the size of the mosquito group analyzed. Data were collected from both control and experimental feeds between 6 and 9 days post infection. In total 1635 separate feedings comprising 25,574 mosquito dissections are shown: 150 feeds with An. gambiae (green) comprising 2691 mosquitoes and 1485 feeds with An. stephensi (blue) comprising 22,883 mosquitoes
