Figure 7From: Assessment of therapeutic responses to gametocytocidal drugs in Plasmodium falciparum malariaThe temporal dissociation in falciparum malaria between changes in gametocytaemia and effects on infectivity following primaquine administration. Individual data from studies of mosquito infectivity following anti-malarial treatments of falciparum malaria with plasmoquine or primaquine in which oocyst assessments were made in mosquitoes which fed ~24Â hours after drug administration [10]. Oocysts were assessed typically in 10-20 mosquitoes 6-7 days after feeding. Each pair of circles or diamonds represents a studied patient.Back to article page
