Effects of anti-mosquito midgut mAb MG25E, MG24C, or MG4B on mortality
and fecundity of An. stephensi. (a)
Mosquito mortality was monitored daily after feeding mosquitoes a
P. vivax-infected blood meal along with MG25E
(n = 40, ■), MG24C
(n = 21, ○), MG4B (n
= 14, ▴), or chimpanzee serum (n = 101,
dashed line). Results from a representative experiment are shown.
(b) Individual An. stephensi female
mosquitoes were kept in oviposition vials after ingestion of a
P. vivax-infected blood meal along with MG25E
(n = 10), MG24C (n = 8), MG4B
(n = 9), or chimpanzee serum (n
= 10). Eggs were monitored and counted daily. Results are presented as
geometric mean ± SEM. * denotes statistical significance
at the 0.05 level as compared with the chimpanzee control group.
