Figure 5

Passive immunization with SUB2 immune sera does not influence parasite growth in the mosquito. Oocyst numbers were measured to determine the effects of passive immunization to control KLH- or SUB2-immune sera. Plasmodium berghei-infected mice were fed to mosquitoes and oocyst numbers were determined for each experimental group before passive immunization (pre-KLH or pre-SUB2), or following passive immunization (KLH or SUB2). The total number (n) of mosquito midguts examined is displayed under each experimental group. The red bar denotes the median of each experiment. No significant (ns) differences were identified for either experimental group following passive immunization.
