Impact of thermoregulation duration on mortality of infected locusts.

The cumulative mortality of Locusta migratoria manilensis inoculated with Beauveria bassiana (104 spores/5th instar nymph) following exposure to three regimes of thermoregulation (0 h, 3 h and 6 h per day are indicated by filled squares, triangles and Xs, respectively). The 0 h regime corresponded to inoculated non-thermoregulating locusts (INTR). C-non-infected, thermoregulating locusts are indicated by filled rhombuses. (n = 30 for three biological replicates). ANOVA on mortality on day 20 is followed by LSD (different letters indicate significant differences).
