Additional file 1 of Effect of irradiation on the survival and susceptibility of female Anopheles arabiensis to natural isolates of Plasmodium falciparum

Additional file 1: Text S1. Serum replacement assay. Figure S1. Relationship between sporozoite prevalence and gametocytemia (number of gametocytes/µl of blood) (a) and between Cq and gametocytemia (b). Blue lines indicate isolates for which the plasma was kept unchanged and black lines indicate isolates with naïve AB serum. Figure S2. Effect of irradiation on sporozoite prevalence (± 95 % CI) at 14 dpbm (a), expressed as the number of mosquito head/thoraces detected positive to Plasmodium falciparum using qPCR out of the total number of dissected head/thoraces, for each treatment and for 10 parasite isolates; and on sporozoite intensity at 14 dpbm (b), expressed as the mean number (± SE) of amplification cycle during qPCR (the lower the Cq, the higher the sporozoite intensity) for each treatment and for 10 parasite isolates. NS: not significant.
