In vitro anti-plasmodial activity of WaKTs against Plasmodium berghei sporogonic stages. The development of sporogonic stages showed inhibition rates of 87.5 and 92.3 % when they were incubated with 100 µg/ml of WaF17.12 and WaATCC 96603 KTs, respectively, for 24 h at 19 °C. The histogram reports the average numbers of the sporogonic stages obtained from the cell count of three wells for each treatment and control (LC₅₀ values were 61.3 and 64.6 µg/ml for WaATCC 96603 and WaF17.12, respectively). The One Way ANOVA Bonferroni’s Multiple Comparison tests were used to perform the statistical analysis. Statistical significance is expressed as a p value. ***p < 0.001
