Figure 1.
Effect of infection status on motivation of mosquitoes to blood-feed.
A. Proportion of mosquitoes that obtained blood within a fixed amount of time, as a function of age at assay and infection status. B. Time required for mosquitoes to start feeding as a function of infection status (The mosquitoes of the two ages at exposure were pooled to simplify the graph).
Table 1.
Statistical analyses of the mosquitoes’ motivation to blood-feed.
Figure 2.
Effect of infection status on avidity of mosquitoes.
Proportion of mosquitoes that attempted to re-feed two hours after their first feeding attempt, as a function of their infection status and amount of blood they had imbibed earlier (measured as optical density). Dots represent individual mosquitoes and are set to 1 if they attempted to feed within five minutes and to 0 if they did not. Lines show the results of logistic regressions through the dots.
