Mosquito infection intensity and prevalence are comparable between mini-feeders and nano-feeders. Plasmodium falciparum infected blood-meals were fed to An. stephensi mosquitoes in 6 glass mini-feeders (n = 30 mosquitoes per feeder) and 6 3D MJ printed nano-feeders (n = 15 mosquitoes per feeder). The infection prevalence and oocyst intensity is presented for individual feeders (a) (lines represent the median) and pooled by feeder type (b) (violin plots show the median and quartiles). Groups in b are compared with Mann-Whitney test, there was no significant difference
