Double and triple deletions can egress from oocysts but have defects in salivary gland entry. A Average numbers of midgut (MG), haemolymph (HL) and salivary gland (SG) derived sporozoites per mosquito ± SD. Data from three independent feeding experiments. B Oocyst numbers of the different parasite lines. Black lines show mean ± SEM. One-way Anova test with subsequent Dunnetts multiple comparison indicates significance (p-value indicated above bars). Data from 2–4 independent experiments as follows: 2 for tlp(-)/trap(-), 3 for tlp(-)/trep(-)/trap(-) and 4 for WT, tlp(-)/trep(-) and trap(-)/ trep(-). C Ratio of haemolymph to midgut sporozoite numbers for the different parasite lines. Bars show mean ± SEM. One-way Anova test with subsequent Dunnetts multiple comparison indicates significance (p-value indicated above bars). Data from 2 to 5 independent experiments as indicated above the bars. D Ratio of salivary gland to midgut sporozoite numbers for the different parasite lines. Bars show mean ± SEM. One-way Anova test with subsequent Dunnetts multiple comparison indicates significance (p-value indicated above bars)
