The number of spores infecting each mosquito after spraying with three different spore concentrations (1 × 105, 1 × 106, and 1 × 107 spores/mL in 0.01% Tween80) plotted against the probability of death. The mean number of spores delivered with each suspension is marked with a blue crossbar. Assuming that mosquitoes with a higher dose are more likely to die, we calculated the chance of death for each mosquito based on our survival data for each treatment at each concentration. Mosquitoes with an estimated 100% chance of death are colored in red, and 0–99% is represented with a green to orange gradient. The red dashed line indicates the estimated LD100 in each treatment (10 spores for WT, 8 spores for AaIT, 7 spores for Hybrid and 6 spores for Hybrid/AaIT).
