Figure Legend Snippet: ( A, B ) P . falciparum (NF54) oocyst infection intensities of FREP1 knockout mutants at 8 days post-infection (dpi) when fed on blood with a high (0.1%) ( A ) or low (0.01%) ( B ) gametocytemia. P . falciparum oocyst infection intensity at 8 dpi in the wt (X1), Vasa-Cas9 (Cas9), and FREP1-gRNA lines, and FREP1 knockout mutants (FREP1-KOs). The wt (X1), Cas9, and FREP1-gRNA lines served as controls. ( C ) The prevalence of the oocyst infection was significantly lower in the FREP1 knockout mosquitoes at low infection level. At low infection level, P . falciparum sporozoite loads in the salivary glands (SG) at 14 dpi ( D ) and the prevalence of the sporozoites ( E ) was significantly lower in the FREP1 knockout mosquitoes. Assays were performed with at least three biological replicates, except for ( A ) (two replicates), and equal numbers of parasites from different replicates were pooled for the dot-plots. Each dot represents the number of parasites in an individual midgut or salivary gland, and the horizontal lines (red) indicate the median values. Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis (KW) tests were used to calculate p -values and determine the significance of parasite numbers. A chi-squared test was used to compare infection prevalence values. Detailed statistical analysis is presented in .
Techniques Used: Infection, Knock-Out, MANN-WHITNEY
Figure Legend Snippet: (A, B) P . berghei (wt, ANKA 2.34) oocyst infection intensities of FREP1 knockout mutants (FREP1-KOs) at 13 days post-infection when fed on P . berghei -infected mice at high ( A ) or low ( B ) infection level. wt (X1), Cas9, and FREP1-gRNA lines served as controls. ( C ) At low infection level the prevalence of the oocyst infection was significantly lower in the FREP1 knockout mosquitoes. At least three biological replicates were included in each assay, and equal numbers of mosquitoes from the different replicates were pooled for the dot-plot analysis. Each dot represents the number of parasites in an individual mosquito, and the horizontal lines (red) indicate the medians. p- values were calculated using Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis (KW) tests. A chi-squared test was used to compare infection prevalence values. Detailed statistical analysis is presented in .
