Effect of L-NAME and D-NAME treatment on oocyst count in Anopheles culicifacies species A and species B.

P. vivax infected blood fed mosquitoes were maintained on sugar and L-NAME or D-NAME treated or untreated water until dissection at 7 days pBM to count midgut oocysts. Figures in the table are depicted as average no. of oocysts per gut ± SEM. Values in parentheses depict the total no. of midguts dissected. Data were analyzed by Tukey's test (a>0.05 for L-NAME v D-NAME experiments, bw-nitro-arginine methyl ester, SEM: standard error mean.
