Fig. 1

Images of the six large cages (numbered) within the climatic chamber (left panel) with the typical arrangement (central panel) of the swarming arena (A), wet (B) and dry (C) resting sites and sugar source (D). The age-tructured populations in six large cages served as control (cage 1 and 4) or were seeded with low frequency of Ag(QFS)1 (cages 2 and 5) and medium frequency of Ag(QFS)1 (cages 3 and 6). Also shown is the Hemotek feeding system (E) and the black horizon marker to emulate sunset (F, panel on the right). For blood feeding, two Hemotek feeders were introduced in each cage through one of the two openings at the front, leaving the power unit outside. Source: No Source Data.
