Figure 3

Diurnal distribution of vector collector caught host-seeking S. damnosum s.l. Daily variation of temperature (black) and humidity (grey) for dry (solid lines) and wet season (dotted lines) with temperature on the left axis (°C) and humidity on the right axis (%) are shown above the diurnal host-seeking activity for each taxon: a) S. damnosum s.s./S. sirbanum; b) S. soubrense Beffa form; c) S. squamosum; d) S. yahense and e) S. sanctipauli. The x-axis shows the time (hourly), and the y-axis, the mean number of blackflies caught per hour. N.B. The scales of the y-axes vary.
