Lack of a circadian rhythm in the ability of the gametocytes of Plasmodium falciparum to infect Anopheles gambiae

Batches of Anopheles gambiae were fed once during the day or once or twice during the night on 12 carriers naturally infected with gametocytes of P. falciparum. No overall difference was noted in the oocyst numbers in batches of mosquitoes fed during the night as compared to the daytime.
