Up to 200 laboratory reared Anopheles dirus mosquitoes were fed on each of 496 symptomatic Thai men who had patent, naturally acquired Plasmodium vivax gametocytaemia. Mean gametocyte densities were 455/mm3 (range: 0-3281), geometric mean oocyst number was 9 (0-142), mean frequency of infection was 43% (0-100%), and mean sporozoite number in salivary glands was 9525 (0-285,000). There was little relation between gametocyte density and either oocyst number or frequency of mosquito infection. There were, however, statistically strong positive correlations between oocyst numbers and frequency of infection, and between number of oocysts and number of salivary gland sporozoites. The data suggest that each oocyst contributed about 850 sporozoites to a gland infection.
对496名有症状的泰国男性进行检测，他们均自然感染了间日疟原虫配子体血症且血中配子体呈阳性。用多达200只实验室饲养的大劣按蚊叮咬每名男性。平均配子体密度为455/立方毫米（范围：0 - 3281），卵囊几何平均数为9（0 - 142），平均感染率为43%（0 - 100%），唾液腺中平均子孢子数为9525（0 - 285,000）。配子体密度与卵囊数量或蚊子感染率之间几乎没有关系。然而，卵囊数量与感染率之间以及卵囊数量与唾液腺子孢子数量之间存在统计学上显著的正相关。数据表明，每个卵囊约为腺体感染贡献850个子孢子。
