Survival of Aedes albopictus mosquitoes after infection by spraying the insects with a suspension of fungal spores (plain line with squares) is shown as the percentage of mosquitoes alive plotted versus time in hours. In each experiment the same number of B. bassiana spores was sprayed on control mosquitoes as a reference (dotted line with triangles). Only A. nomius was able to kill the mosquitoes at a very similar rate compared to B. bassiana. None of the mosquitoes that were mock-sprayed with water under the same conditions succumbed to the treatment (not shown)
