Survival egg to pupa for self-limiting insects in both aseptic and standard conditions, and with and without E. cloacae inoculation (+Ec–Ec). Eggs were counted on parafilm strips before being added to rearing containers, and the numbers of healthy pupae recorded after seven days. In the aseptic experiment, survival was recorded in 25–26 Petri dishes in each inoculation treatment, while under standard condition survival was assessed in 11–12 tubs per treatment.
