Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species modulate mosquito susceptibility to Plasmodium infection.

Consistent with these findings dsAaMC1-injected mosquitoes had a significantly higher median number of oocysts when infected with Plasmodium gallinaceum ( P <0.007, Mann-Whitney Test)( Figure S2 ); the difference in the oocyst distributions was marginally significant ( P <0.07, KS Test) and the prevalence of infection increased significantly from 63% to 80% ( P <0.008, Chi-square Test).
