Does Cattle Milieu Provide a Potential Point to Target Wild Exophilic Anopheles arabiensis (Diptera: Culicidae) with Entomopathogenic Fungus? A Bioinsecticide Zooprophylaxis Strategy for Vector Control
Figure 3
Effects of B. bassiana against semifield reared exophilic An. arabiensis populations: (a) Estimated proportion () of fed after exposure to fungus-treated and untreated calf, BB calf indicates a calf sprayed with conidia suspension of Beauvaria bassiana. (b) Estimated proportion () of infected mosquitoes after exposure to fungus treated calf on 0 d and 3 d. (c) Estimates () of the mean number of eggs laid by mosquitoes after exposure to fungus-treated and untreated calf. (d) Survival of mosquitoes after exposure to fungus-treated and untreated calf, the lines represent the survival function as estimated from fitting Cox proportional hazard model (controlling for random variation between individual calves).
