Figure 7. Boxplot of the proportion of infected mosquitoes among 15 haphazardly chosen blood fed individuals on each bird (harbouring at least 1 oocyst in the midgut) for the 3 exposure sessions (see Fig. 4): (A) session 1 (34–40 dpi), (B) session 2 (122–128 dpi) and (C) session 3 (291–297 dpi).

The figure shows the median proportion of infected mosquitoes (horizontal black bars). The white boxes below and above the median indicate the first and third quartiles respectively. Dashed lines delimit 1.5 times the inter-quartile range on both side of the box, above which individual counts are considered outliers and marked as dots.
