Mean survival at constant temperatures. Mean percentage survival per constant temperature for Anopheles arabiensis (blue), An. funestus (red) and An. gambiae (green) (data for An. gambiae obtained from [7]). Error bars are shown for An. arabiensis and An. funestus. Survival of An. gambiae is highest at the lower end of the temperature range, while survival of An. arabiensis is highest towards the upper end of this temperature scale. An. funestus displays lower survival at all temperatures when compared to the other two vector species. No development and hence, no survival occurred at 15°C and 35°C for An. funestus and An. arabiensis, while An. gambiae did not develop at 16°C and 34°C.
