Fig. 4

Cumulative survival and average longevity of B. dorsalis. Positive control consisted of females maintained under full diets only till death and the negative control consisted of females maintained under sugar diet only till death. (i): daily adult mortality & (ii): average longevity. P. dispersa and E. cloacae antagonistically regulated the female survival with E. faecalis and K. oxytoca. From 1 to 7 days, all the flies were protein starved and fed sugar diet only. Mean bars with different letters between treatments are statistically different after Tukey’s post hoc tests at P ≤ 0.05
