Survival curves of Aedes aegypti females following exposure to ESALQ 818 blastospore (1 × 10⁷ ml⁻¹)-impregnated black cotton cloths with and without the addition of 20% sunflower oil to the suspensions. Mosquitoes were exposed to the cloths immediately after application of fungi to the cloths (0 h), or 12 h later, 24 h later, or 48 h later. Control data for all treatment groups were combined and represented as a single survival curve. Error bars are ± SD (standard deviation of the mean)
