Survival of blood-fed mosquitoes throughout the experiment. The highest mortality was observed in the mosquito group fed on donors vaccinated with E. coli BL21 and infected with P. relictum, which significantly differed from the group fed on the birds vaccinated with E. coli BL21 (p = 0.02). Survival of mosquitoes between other groups did not differ significantly. Survival of mosquitoes was estimated by Fisher’s exact test with Bonferroni correction. Different letters at the end of the curves indicate statistically significant differences in survival rate (p < 0.05).
