Effects of added E. anophelis cells on red blood cell lysis and mosquito fecundity. (A) Time course of the digestion of red blood cells by E. anophelis. Values are means ± standard deviation. Comparisons that were significantly different (P < 0.05) were concentrations of red blood cells incubated without E. anophelis addition on day 2 and day 4 versus day 0 or incubated with E. anophelis on day 2 and day 4 versus day 0, respectively. (B) Fecundity of A. stephensi after a bovine blood meal given by membrane feeding. Comparisons that were significantly different (P < 0.05) were the eggs produced by mosquitoes previously provided E. anophelis in a sugar meal, E. anophelis in sugar meal supplemented with erythromycin versus sugar only (indicated by “a”), respectively.
