Effect of temperature on larva survival after injection with . Kaplan-Meier plot of larva survival during 264 h after injection with STIR-GUS-F2f7 at 1 × 10  CFU/mL and incubated at 15, 22, 25, 28 and 37 °C, showing that the group of larvae incubated at 28 °C had lowest survival; survival was 100% in the unmanipulated and PBS only control groups at all temperatures (data not shown).  = 12
