Here we try to evaluate the effect of anti-Anopheles midgut antibodies on coating these molecules and consequently blocking the transmission cycle of Plasmodium berghei inside their vectors. Materials & Methods: Balb/c mice were immunized with homogenized and deglycosylated midguts of female Anopheles stephensi type form (known as Beech strain) mosquitoes along with alum as adjuvant. Control mice received alum plus buffer or alum alone. Production of enough antibodies was confirmed with ELISA and the sedimentation of P. berghei infected blood mixed with sera from immunized or control mice was fed to Beech and another type form strain of Anopheles stephensi (originally from Bandar-Abbas, Iran) mosquitoes. Formation of oocysts on distal surface of midgut and their number and the presence of sporozoites was checked and compared between strains. Results: Oocyst rate and oocyst count mean of midguts and sporozoite rate of salivary glands of Beech strain was much lower (p M3 ER -
