Fig. 3

The mean vector fecundity (a) and vector fertility (b) assessed per female An. arabiensis mosquito (n = 190 per treatment), post-blood-feeding. Vector fecundity (one-way ANOVA: p < 0.001, F = 11.7, DF = 3) and vector fertility (one-way ANOVA: p < 0.001, F = 68.9, DF = 3) were significantly reduced in An. arabiensis females that ingested antibodies from the mice that were vaccinated with the recombinant proteins compared to the control treatment. The asterisk shows a significant change from the control treatment, while the error bars on the graph are indicative of the SE between the treatment replicates (Additional file 3)
