Delayed 24-hour mortality and blood-feeding rates during mosquito release experiments of local Anopheles gambiae. Malaria-free females reared at the CREC insectarium were released into each hut at 21:00 hours and collected between 5 and 7 hours the next day. Bed nets had been withdrawn and mosquito entry into the huts was blocked. Averages from two repeats of N > 30 each.
