<i>M</i>.<i>anisopliae</i> conidia attached to front tarsal segments of a male of <i>Ae</i>. <i>aegypti</i>.

<p>Intersection of gray line denotes the conidia layer pasted on the tarsi and white arrows show the polyhedronic shapes of conidia clusters which appeared pasted on tarsal segments.</p

Daily number of <i>Ae</i>. <i>aegypti</i> female mosquitoes mated by a fungus-exposed and an uninfected male in a greenhouse.

<p>Data are the least square means (LSMs) ± standard error (SE) number of <i>Ae</i>. <i>aegypti</i> female mosquitoes in five “copulation status” (combination of insemination or not/<i>M</i>. <i>anisopliae</i>-infection). LSMs were calculated by a glimmix model from 10 replicates. Different letters above bars denote significant differences (p < 0.05) accordingly to pair-wise <i>t</i> tests conducted by Tukey-Cramer multiple comparisons.</p

<i>Aedes aegypti</i> mosquito adults marked with fluorescent powders.

<p>A: <i>M</i>. <i>anisopliae</i>-exposed male marked with red fluorescent powder. B: Uninfected male marked with yellow powder. C: A female mosquito that was mated by both fungus-exposed male and uninfected one, showing spots of powder of both colors on the last abdominal segments (red and yellow arrows).</p
