Transmission of Microsporidia MB from Anopheles gambiae s.s. to their offspring. a Bar plots represent transmission rate of Microsporidia MB from 12 infected field-derived females (Go; n = 12) to their offspring (G1). b Bar plots representing Microsporidia MB prevalence in tissues of male and female An. gambiae s.s. [gonads (gon), guts (gut) and carcass (carc)]. Scatter plots representing mean relative densities of Microsporidia MB transmitted to An. gambiae s.s. tissues (gonads, guts and carcass) of female offspring (c) and gonads and guts of male offspring, but not male carcasses (d). The results are expressed as the mean ± SE from three separate experiments. * P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001
