Anti-OSCP antibodies inhibit mosquito infection. a The anti-OSCP α1 antibody reduces ookinete gliding speed. Welch’s t-test: *P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001. b The anti-OSCP α2 antibody does not affect ookinete gliding speed. c and d Mosquitoes were fed on infected mice prior to (Pre) and then after (Post) intravenous injection of a mixture of equal amounts of α1 and α2 antibodies. Oocysts were counted at 2 (c) and 14 (c) days after feeding. Mann-Whitney U test: ***P < 0.001. Number of independent experiments in triplicate (c) and five times (d)
