Figure 1From: Studying fitness cost of Plasmodium falciparum infection in malaria vectors: validation of an appropriate negative controlSurvival curves. Kaplan-Meier estimates of survival of female mosquitoes after a blood meal as a function of whether the blood had been previously heated (in red) or not (in blue) (A) or as a function of blood donor (B). In A, survival curves between females fed on heated versus non-heated blood are not significantly different according to the Cox Proportional Hazards tests (P = 0.46). In B, survival curves between females fed on blood from different blood donors are significantly different according to the Cox Proportional Hazards tests (P <0.001).Back to article page
