Impact of g2 gene disruption on P. berghei oocyst development in Anopheles stephensi mosquitoes
Experiment | Parasite line | Mean/median number of oocysts/mosquito (range)a | Prevalence of infection (%) |
---|---|---|---|
I | G2/GFP | 218/129 (0–934) | 93 |
G2-KO | 2.2/2.0 (0–10) | 90 | |
II | G2/GFP | 29.4/21.0 (0–87) | 95 |
G2-KO | 0.4/0.0 (0–4) | 20 |
Thirty and 40 mosquitoes dissected per parasite line for experiments I and II respectively.
