Fig. 4. Bacterial dynamics and developmental analysis of larvae reared in breeding site water and transferred to sterile rearing medium.

Fig. 4

a, b Colony forming units (CFU) count in larvae reared in water collected from Ae. aegypti breeding sites for 48 h (a) or 72 h (b) after 2, 5 and 24 h from transferring into sterile rearing water. Bacterial loads of non-transferred larvae are shown in black, while those of transferred larvae are shown in grey. c, d Development success of larvae continuously reared in breeding site water or transferred into sterile rearing water after 48 h (c) or 72 h (d) expressed as percentage of individuals reaching adulthood (striped bars), dying (black bars) and with stalled development (grey bars). In (ad), data show mean ± SEM of two (a), three (b, c) or seven (d) independent replicates. The exact number of individuals analysed per condition and replicate is indicated in each panel. Statistical significance was determined with generalised linear mixed models and least square means with Bonferroni correction. Exact p values are indicated in the figure. See Table S1 for detailed statistical information. Source Data are provided as a Source Data file.
