  		Fig. 2. Mean total time active (±s.e.m.) per 1 h window for infected and uninfected males and females at three adult ages. Times on x-axis denote the beginning of the hour-long session. Lights were turned on daily at 07:00 h and off at 19:00 h. Each point represents 10 mosquitoesx3 replicate recording days.
