Oocyst dissection data compared to P. falciparum CSP-ELISA results. The number of oocysts per mosquito read by microscopy on day-12 (d12) post feeding for the inactivated blood meal and the low and high infected blood meal (a). ELISA OD measurements for: negative mosquitoes collected on day-2 (d2) and d12 (with and without a blood meal on day-0 (d0), and the inactivated Plasmodium falciparum blood meal, a low infection and a high infection collected on d12 (b). Points representing single mosquitoes, dashed lines show the cut-off value for positivity and bars the mean OD value
