Anopheles gambiae Dscam expression diversity versus increasing parasite diversity in the field. AgDscam diversity (as 1- Simpson's Index) increased between controls and exposed treatments and between single and double genotype-exposures only. Levels not connected by same letter are significantly different. Error bars represent standard error (SE). Key: Control; blood meal with no parasites, Single; mosquitoes exposed to a minimum of one P. falciparum genotype, Double; mosquitoes exposed to a minimum of two P. falciparum genotypes, Triple; mosquitoes exposed to a minimum of three P. falciparum genotypes.
