Survival rates are given as a percentage. The number of flies tested is indicated. The survival rates were measured 4 and 8 days after the natural infection of wild-type (Oregon^R) and Tl⁻ (Tl⁶³²/Tl^1-RXA) adult flies by various fungi. Experiments were performed at 29°C. B.b., B. bassiana; M.a., M. anesiplae; P.f., P. fumoroseus; A.f., A. fumigatus.
