*Note that for subjects with mixed Pf/Pv infection(M), the percentage of infected mosquitoes was determined by species-specific PCR of individual mosquitoes, and oocyst counts are not reported because of inability to distinguish falciparum vs. vivax oocysts [18].

** Two of 5 and 5 of 5 pools of mosquitoes were real-time PCR positive at days 9 and 16 after feeding, respectively, but oocysts were not seen.
