Figure 1From: Natural infection of Plasmodium falciparum induces inhibitory antibodies to gametocyte development in human hostsThe effects of human plasma from malaria patients on maturation of Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes. The data are shown in (A) mean percentages of gametocytes from stage I to V, (B) mean percentages of crisis form of gametocytes, and (C) number of asexual and sexual stage parasites in the cocultivation cultures. (a) malaria naive plasma, (b) oocyst non-inhibitory plasma, (c) oocyst inhibitory plasma, *P ≤ 0.05.Back to article page
