Effect of antimicrobial peptides against P. berghei infections in Anopheles stephensi.

Mosquitoes were provided with a gametocytaemic blood meal mixed with 50 µM of peptide, performed in triplicate. Prevalence (the proportion of infected mosquitoes with total numbers in parentheses) and intensity (mean number of oocysts with the range in parentheses) of infections with paired controls are shown. N/S indicates non-significance. Significant differences are indicated by probability values with (▴) representing oocyst numbers significantly higher than control and (▾) representing oocyst numbers lower than control.
