From: Both infected and uninfected mosquitoes are attracted toward malaria infected birds
Attractiveness of canaries infected by Plasmodium relictum to Culex pipiens mosquitoes according to their status of infection by Plasmodium relictum (infected by sporozoites, uninfected). Bird attractiveness refers to the proportion of mosquitoes that bit the infected bird relative to the number of blood-fed mosquitoes. (A) Raw data. Boxes are interquartile ranges, thick lines are medians and bars enclose 90% of the distribution. The dotted line represents the proportion in the absence of choice (p = 0.5). (B) Relationships between bird attractiveness of the infected bird and differential haematocrit, which refers to the difference in haematocrit between the infected bird and the uninfected control bird within pairs. Uninfected mosquitoes: open circle, dashed line; sporozoite-infected mosquitoes: dark circle, full line. Lines are the fits of GLM models.
