Effect of fluorescent dye and powder on the survival of A. gambiae . Mosquitoes were either non-treated (Control), sprayed with water (Water), sprayed with fluorescent dye dissolved in water (Dye) or treated with fluorescent powder (Powder). Treatments were applied 1, 3, 5 or 9 days after adults emerged from pupae. N = 25 for each treatment at each starting point. Data followed by different letters differ significantly at P < 0.05 (Kaplan-Meier).
