Summary of daily relative humidity and temperature recordings observed during the mosquito survivorship (longevity) study. The SMACK contained a water reservoir from which moisture was released from a chamois sponge (Slurpex, Reedman Agencies, North Sydney, AU). PBTs did not contain a water reservoir system. Temperature and humidity recordings were taken every 15 min for the length of the study (14 d)
