Parasite strain transcendence. Comparison of nominal and genome wide p values for linkage at H796 before and after removing mosquitoes fed on a parasite isolate that did not infect any mosquitoes in the pedigree.

H796

p value

All parasites

Only infective parasites

Nominal

0.002

0.003

Genome-wide

0.040

0.035

To obtain p values for only infective parasites, those mosquitoes that fed on the parasite isolate that failed to infect any mosquitoes were removed prior to analysis (n = 6, leaving 19 mosquitoes for analysis)
