Figure 3.

Comparison of mRNA abundance and mRNA polysomal association between P. falciparum -challenged and control mosquitoes. The difference in transcript levels (log₂mRNA_Infected- log₂mRNA_Uninfected) was plotted with the difference in translation state (log₂PL_Infected - log₂PL_Uninfected) at around 24 h post blood meal in mosquitoes that were fed on P. falciparum-infected and -uninfected blood. Cut-off values (−1.0 and 1.0) for the change in transcript levels and translation state is depicted as red and green dashed lines, respectively.
