Infection prevalences for Plasmodium vivax early sporogonic life-stages developing within Anopheles mosquitoes. The total numbers of mosquitoes examined per life-stage are given in parentheses. HIGH = volunteers who, at the time of donating blood, would be most likely to perpetuate P. vivax transmission in nature (i.e., yielding ≥ 1 oocyst per mosquito in A. dirus). LOW = volunteer blood that would not be likely to perpetuate transmission in nature (i.e., yielding < 1 oocyst per mosquito in A. dirus). |
