Plasmodium vivax CSP-Pvs25 variants from southern Mexico produce distinct patterns of infectivity for Anopheles albimanus versus An. pseudopunctipennis, in each case independent of geographical origin

Table 3 Comparison of the mosquitoes infected by different P. vivax genotype (cspVk/Pvs25-130) only from simultaneous feeding of An. pseudopunctipennis from different geographical sites

Geographical site and mosquito colony	Vk210/Pvs25-B^a			Vk247/Pvs25-B^b
Geographical site and mosquito colony	n	Prop. infected	P	n	Prop. infected	P
1. P/TAP-R	49	0.76		107	0.79
5. Nuevo Leon	49	0.53	0.027	109	0.65	0.030
6. Guatemala	56	0.50	0.011	106	0.72	0.260

Notes: Statistical significance was calculated by using the Jackknife coefficient variance estimator at 95% confidence interval
