Night-fed mosquitoes are less likely to be infected (a) but oocyst burdens are not influenced by time of day for either party (b). Data presented are mean ± s.e.m. for the proportion of mosquitoes that are infected with oocysts (a) and oocyst burdens for all fed mosquitoes regardless of whether infected or not (b). Groups are: daytime (ZT8; closed symbols) and night time (ZT16; open symbols) feeding mosquitoes that fed on mice experiencing their day (ZT8; green) or night (ZT16; blue). Data in (b) are square root transformed to meet statistical model assumptions for analysis.
