Effect of infection with M. anisopliae on sugar detection success in An. gambiae mosquitoes. Panels A and B represent sugar detection success in uninfected and in M. anisopliae-infected males and females respectively one day post-exposure with Panels C and D represent 3 d post-exposure when fed on Ricinus communis for 12 hr. Solid lines representing uninfected mosquitoes and dotted lines representing infected mosquitoes describe the fitted logistic relationships between sugar detection success for each time period since feeding: − Logit (sugar detection success) = ß0 + ß1 time. Circles denote observed values. Level of statistical difference between treatments was calculated by Chi square ( χ 2 ) test. Each treatment tested 200 mosquitoes.
