Bland-Altman plot.

<p>The plot shows the difference of infection prevalence between the M and S molecular forms in mosquito populations collected in allopatric (blue triangles) and sympatric (red circles) conditions. Each triangle or circle represents an experiment for which M and S mosquitoes were fed on a same blood donor. A positive value indicates a higher infection rate for the M form, and a negative one a higher infection rate for the S form. The M form was more infected than the S one for 76% (19/25) of feedings, and the difference is significant (X² = 11.52, <i>P</i><0.001).</p
