Plasmodium berghei ookinete kinetics and densities were examined in the blood meals of 3 species of Anopheles mosquitoes fed simultaneously from a gametocytemic mouse. Simple techniques were developed for estimating relative and absolute ookinete densities within individual mosquito blood meals. The kinetics of ookinete formation were similar in all 3 species, with peak ookinete densities occurring from 12 to 24 hr postingestion. Ookinete densities consistently were lower in Anopheles stephensi than in Anopheles albimanus or Anopheles freeborni and could not be accounted for by species differences in blood meal volumes or gametocyte densities. Likely explanations involve species differences in blood meal hemolysis or sampling error as the result of ookinete emigration from the blood meal.
