- Proportional hazards survival analysis (Likelihood-ratio tests presented here, n = 82) of the effects of water availability, molecular form, body size, and presence of oocysts and/or sporozoites on the survival (time of death) of blood-fed An. gambiae s.s. female mosquitoes collected from huts in an area endemic for malaria and brought to the laboratory. Females were kept for seven days with water ad-libitum or with restricted access to water. Interactions were non-significant.
