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 4 Differential susceptibility of An. albimanus and An. pseudopunctipennis mosquitoes to two related P. vivax genotypes

P. vivax (cspVk/Pvs25-130)	n	Prop. infected	Median oocyst number (IQR)
	An. albimanus
Vk210/Pvs25-B	466	0.075	7 (3–17)
Vk247/Pvs25-B	1542	0.132; P = 0.001	4 (1–14); P = 0.100
	An. pseudopunctipennis
Vk210/Pvs25-B	393	0.56	18 (7–39)
Vk247/Pvs25-B	979	0.784; P = 0.011	36 (16–62); P < 0.001

Notes: The median number of oocysts was calculated only considering the infected mosquitoes. Statistical significance was estimated by using the Jackknife coefficient variance estimator at 95% confidence interval
Abbreviations: n, total number of mosquitoes examined; Prop. proportion, IQR interquartile range
