Figure 4From: Equivalent susceptibility of Anopheles gambiae M and S molecular forms and Anopheles arabiensis to Plasmodium falciparum infection in Burkina FasoPlasmodium falciparum infection intensity does not differ across population groups. A. Oocyst infection intensity of the three population groups, A. gambiae s.s. M form, S form and A. arabiensis, was calculated individually for each of 29 experimental infections, and descriptive statistics are summarized in a box plot (top and bottom of the box, 75th and 25th percentile; solid line within the box, median; dashed line within the box, mean; error bars, 90th and tenth percentiles; dots, outliers). B. As in A, but only for the subset of 13 most representative infections. Neither the 29-infection dataset in A nor the 13-infection subset in B display a significant difference for infection intensity among population groups (see Results).Back to article page
