Figure 5. An. stephensi females are significantly more attracted in Y-tube choice experiments to B. bassiana-infected caterpillars than to uninfected caterpillars, whether they are alive or dead, sporulating or non-sporulating.

(Left) percentage of female An. stephensi flying upwind to cadavers of 4^th-instar H. subflexa caterpillars that were infected with B. bassiana but not sporulating (dark bars) or were uninfected (light bars). (Center) percentage of females flying upwind to cadavers of H. subflexa caterpillars that either exhibited B. bassiana spores (dark bars) or were uninfected (light bars). (Right) percentage flying upwind to B. bassiana-infected but non-sporulating live H. subflexa caterpillars (dark bars) compared to uninfected live caterpillars (light bars). (***P<0.001; Chi-square 2×2 test of independence; N = 90).
