Transmission intensity and infection prevalence of nine patient isolates and their derived clones. Violin plots present infection intensity, the number of established oocysts on the mosquito midgut post infection, with lines indicating the median and quartiles. Bar columns show infection prevalence (the percentage of infected mosquitoes) with SD. The number of mosquitoes (mosq.) indicates number of dissected midguts in individual experiments (exp.). Clonal isolates were categorized on intensity, some clones repeatedly achieved mosquito infection intensities with a mean oocyst density above 5 (panel d, f, g and i) whilst others below 5 (panel a, c and h). Gametocytes of one isolate lost the ability to transmit to mosquito vector after cloning (panel b)
