Fig. 2 — Effect of the status of infection by Plasmodium relictum (infected by sporozoites (solid line and dots) vs uninfected (dashed line and empty dots)) on the blood meal size of Culex pipiens mosquitoes across time. The amount of ingested blood was estimated by quantifying the concentration of haemoglobin in the sample using a spectrophotometric assay (optical density values). Each dot refers to the estimated blood meal size of a blood-fed mosquito taken out of the experimental cage. The experiment was replicated 6 times (using 6 different uninfected birds, see Additional file 3: Figure S2 showing the blood feeding dynamics on each bird)
