From: Aedes aegypti SGS1 is critical for Plasmodium gallinaceum infection of both the mosquito midgut and salivary glands

Fig. 7

Aedes aegypti SGS1 has a dual role into P. gallinaceum life cycle in the mosquito. a Timeline of P. gallinaceum challenge experiment in SGS1 knockout mosquitoes. b Oocyst intensity in the midgut of SGS1ko or LVP infected mosquitoes, each point represents one midgut and the horizontal bar represents the median. c Hemoglobin concentration in midguts of P. gallinaceum-challenged mosquitoes. Each point represents the absorbance (Abs) from a single homogenized midgut from either wild-type (WT) or SGS1 knockout (SGS1KO) mosquitoes. d Sporozoite prevalence in the salivary gland of SGS1ko or LVP infected mosquitoes. Each point represents one pair of salivary glands. Horizontal bars represent the median. A Mann–Whitney U test was used to evaluate statistical significance of parasite intensity of infection. A P value of  < 0.05 was considered statisticaly significant
