  1. Note: following the initial blood feed, mosquitoes were offered sucrose on a daily basis.
  2. Results followed by the same letter indicate no significant differences when using Duncan's post-hoc test (5% probability). Values for S50 were calculated using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. CONT: control; SUC: sucrose; BL: blood; NA: not applicable.
