There were no striking differences in susceptibility due to bed
bug feeding status, sex, strain, or life stage. With respect to test
substrates, jersey knit cotton was a better substrate for conidial
transfer than paper, probably due to the relatively contoured surface
resulting in more conidia coming into contact with the insect
cuticle. These results demonstrate that choice of substrate is
important in both bioassay design and end product development.
Studies exploring transfer of conidia to mosquitoes following
short-term residual exposure also show substrate type to effect
infection levels and spore persistence (Farenhorst et al., 2011).
