Effect of fungus infection on baseline (susceptible) and insecticide-resistant mosquito survival. Mean (±SEM) cumulative proportional survival of B. bassiana-infected (red) and uninfected control mosquitoes (black) of four different mosquito strains, A. funestus (Af), two strains of A. arabiensis (Aa1 and Aa2), and A. gambiae s.s. (Ag). Survival of baseline colonies is shown on the left and colonies selected for resistance to either permethrin (Perm), DDT, or bendiocarb (Bend) on the right. Data represent nine replicates, each containing ≈30 females, except for the baseline Af colony where n = 6 for both curves.
