One group of mice was only submitted to infectious mosquito bites. b) Course of infection in mice submitted first to uninfected followed by infected mosquito bites (▲), and infected mosquito bites only (■). The infection was followed for 13 days at which time mice were sacrificed and FACS analysis performed (see Figure 4). c) Length of pre-patent period, and peak parasitaemia of mice submitted to uninfected and infected mosquito bites (□), and infected mosquito bites only (■). The values represent the means and standard errors of the means of at least 3 mice per group
