Survival of mosquitoes exposed to Imidacloprid, fungus and Imidacloprid+fungus during three different time periods
| Exposure time (h) | Treatments | % Survival ± SD | S50 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TWEEN | 83.3 ± 2.85 a | ND | |
| IMI | 85.5 ± 2.67 a | ND | |
| 3 | FUNGUS | 51.1 ± 6.01 b | ND |
| IMI + FUNGUS | 44.4 ± 8.25 b | ND | |
| TWEEN | 80 ± 2.43 a | ND | |
| IMI | 84.4 ± 2.82 a | ND | |
| 6 | FUNGUS | 26.6 ± 8.48 b | 3 |
| IMI + FUNGUS | 11.1 ± 11.34 c | 3 | |
| TWEEN | 83.3 ± 2.67 a | ND | |
| IMI | 85.5 ± 2.47 a | ND | |

| IMI + FUNGUS | 7.77 ± 12.32 c | 2 | |
Results followed by the same letter indicate no significant differences when using Duncan's post-hoc test (5% probability). Values for S50 (mean survival time) were calculated using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. ND = Not determined.
