Figure 5

Between experiments markers of apoptosis and death are repeatable. Data taken from the experiments described in figure 4. Average proportion of ookinetes classified into 4 categories (healthy, early apoptotic, late apoptotic or dead) across 9 replicate infections for experiment 1 (yellow) and 10 replicate infections for experiment 2 (green). Although there is variation for replicate infections within experiments (figure 4) there is no significant variation between the cells categorised into each condition between 2 experiments carried out on different days (χ² = 5.81 (3 df), p > 0.1). Error bars show the standard error of the mean.
