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 4
Effects of M. anisopliae IP 46 against wild exophilic An. arabiensis. (a) Estimated proportion ( ) of fed mosquitoes after exposure to fungus-treated and untreated calf inside experimental hut. (b) Estimated proportion () of infected mosquitoes after exposure to fungus-treated and untreated surfaces. (c) Estimates () of the mean number of eggs laid by mosquitoes after exposure to fungus-treated and untreated surfaces. (d) Survival of mosquitoes after exposure to fungus-treated and untreated surfaces. The lines represent the survival function as estimated from the fitting Cox proportional hazard model (controlling for random variation between individual calves).
