Figure 3. B. bassiana-sporulating insect cadavers are more attractive to An. stephensi females than uninfected cadavers.

Percentage (dark bars) of individually tested An. stephensi females that flew upwind in the Y-tube in response to sporulating cadavers of: (left) H. subflexa; (center) M. sexta: and (right) An. stephensi females that had died following B. bassiana infection. Light bars indicate attraction to the alternate Y-tube arm containing uninfected dead caterpillars or mosquitoes. Brackets denote ±95% binomial confidence intervals (C.I.). Asterisks indicate significant differences between attraction to treatment choice-pairs (Chi-square 2×2 test of independence; ***P≤0.001; N = 60).
