Nucleotide alignment concatenation of 4 mitochondrial genes for 17 Plasmodium species and one outgroup

The bioassay.

<p>(A) The two tents set up outdoors and connected to the two traps of the Y-olfactometer by lay-flat tubing, and the olfactometer room located between the two tents. (B) Fan drawing air from a tent to the olfactometer via lay-flat tubing. (C) The Y tube-olfactometer.</p

Consistencies in human attractiveness over the first and second trial.

<p>(A) Relationship between mosquito <i>activation</i> on the first and second trial. (B) Relationship between mosquito <i>orientation</i> on the first and second trial. Volunteers from the dolo group (n = 25) are represented by closed circles and those from the water group (n = 18) by open circles. The lines are the least squares regression lines.</p

Beer consumption increases human attractiveness.

<p>(A) Effects of beer (n = 25 volunteers) or water (n = 18 volunteers) consumption on mosquito <i>activation</i>, expressed as the proportion of mosquitoes caught in both traps out of the total number released in the downwind box of the Y-olfactometer. In parentheses are the total numbers of mosquitoes entering both traps. (B) Effects of beer (n = 25 volunteers) or water (n = 18 volunteers) consumption on the mosquito <i>orientation</i>, expressed as the proportion of mosquitoes caught in the odour-baited trap out of the total number retrieved from both traps. In parentheses are indicated the numbers of mosquitoes entering the volunteer odour-baited trap. Error bars show 95% confidence interval of the mean proportion. Asterisks indicate significant effect of treatments on the response variables (GLMM); ns  =  not significant; ***  = P<0.001.</p
