aAll mAb were tested at 0.231 mg/ml and fed with infected blood meal at the same time.

bArithmetic mean (range) of oocysts per mosquito midgut.

cPer cent inhibition of mean oocyst intensity (PIm[o]) and the 95% confidence interval (95% CI).

dTwo-sided p-values for testing whether PIm[o] is significantly different from 0.

eNumber of mosquitoes without any oocysts/number of mosquitoes examined.

fPer cent inhibition of prevalence of mosquitoes with oocysts (PIp[o]) and the 95% CI.

gp-values of PIp[o].

hArithmetic mean (range) of sporozoites (×103) per mosquito. No sporozoite count in the second experiment.

iPer cent inhibition of mean sporozoite intensity (PIm[s]) and the 95% CI.

jp-values of PIm[s].
