The median and range of the immunizations are shown of all subjects in Cohort 2 who underwent CHMI. Since only one subject was non-protected, it was not possible to reliably do a statistical comparison.

1Median of the numbers of bites at each immunization.

2Median of the numbers of bites for each subject at the first, fifth, and second-fourth immunizations.

3Gland score: as defined in Methods, salivary infection rates were defined as gland scores: 1–10 sporozoites = gland score 1; 11–100 sporozoites = gland score 2; 101–1,000 sporozoites = gland score 3; and > 1,000 = gland score 4. Median gland scores during immunization are the medians of median gland scores for each subject; ranges are values for each subject at each immunization.

4Median gland scores during 1st immunization and 5th immunizations and CHMI are the medians of gland scores for each subject; ranges are values for each subject at that immunization or CHMI.

5Actual values for one non-protected subject.
