Figure 1

Mean cumulative proportional survival (± Standard Error) calculated by the Kaplan-Meier model for forty females of A. aegypti confined with a virgin male previously exposed to 6 × 108 conidia ml-1 of two isolates of M. anisopliae plus control (healthy male). Mortality by fungus was demonstrated by sporulation in cadavers (see text). Four experimental groups: the Ma-CBG-1 (NMP), Ma-CBG-1 (MP), and Ma-CBG-2 (MP) strains, and control (females with a clean male). MP = Mosquito-passaged, NMP = no mosquito-passaged.
