Fig. 4

Fungal colonization of axenic mosquitoes. The scattered plot shows CFUs/mosquito of Ae. aegypti A, Ae. albopictus B and Cx. quinquefasciatus C larvae and adults. The CFU data were analysed by Kruskal–Wallis Test with a Dunn’s multiple comparisons test. The circle above each scattered plot shows prevalence of infection for that treatment. Prevalence data were analysed by Fisher exact test. Letters above each scattered plot and prevalence circle indicate significance between the treatments. For all statistical analysis P < 0.05 was considered significant. Sample size was N ≥ 10 for larvae and N ≥ 5 for adults – each dot on the graph represents an individual mosquito. The dotted horizontal line inidicates threshold detection limit
