  1. Survival (%) ± Standard Deviation and Median Survival for Aedes aegypti larvae exposed to a combination of either fungus + Neem (F + N); Fungus only (F) or Neem only (N)
  2. The control treatment was Tween 80 (0.05 %) in sterile distilled water. Results followed by the same letter (comparing columns only) indicate no significant differences when using Duncan’s post-hoc test (5 % probability). Values for S50 were calculated using Log-rank survival analysis. ND = Not determined
