| Parasite line | Day 7a | Day 9 | Day 11 | Day 14 | Day 19 | Midgut spzsb | Spzsc |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wild type NF54 | 33 (0–83) | 45 (0–157) | 10 (0–70) | 2 (0–9) | 0 | Yes | 78,000 ± 21,000 |
| pdh e1α-B9 | 37 (0–134) | 32 (0–120) | 34 (0–116) | 14 (0–35) | 0 | No | 0 |
| pdh e1α-G2 | 38 (0–142) | 26 (0–97) | 8 (0–47) | 10 (0–44) | 0 | No | 0 |
a Mean of 20 mosquitoes (10 from each of 2 cages taken from independent infectious blood meals). Data are days after the infectious blood meal.
b Mosquito midguts (10 from each of 2 cages taken from independent infectious blood meals) were analyzed for the presence of mature midgut oocyst sporozoites (Midgut spzs) every other day from day 9 until day 19 after the infectious blood meal.
c Salivary gland sporozoites (Spzs) were counted from 20 mosquitoes (10 from each of two cages taken from independent infectious blood meals) on days 14, 15, and 16 after the infectious blood meal.
