\textbf{Figure 3. \textit{F. tularensis} LVS lethality varies by temperature.} Kaplan-Meier survival curves in \textit{B. dubia} is temperature-dependent.} Groups  of juvenile \textit{B. dubia} cockroaches (n=???) were  injected with 6.0 x 10^6 CFU, 8.8 x 10^6 CFU, 4.5 x 10^6 CFU, or 3.0 x 10^6 CFU \textit{F. tularensis} LVS and incubated atthe  22°C, 30°C, 37°C, or 40°C, respectively. Incubation Post-infection incubation  at 37°C and 40°C resulted in rapid cockroach  death, whereas incubation at 22°C and 30°C resulted in a slower time to death, delayed time-to-death,  despite slightly higher inoculums. By log-rank analysis, there was There were  no significance difference differences  between the two curves cockroach survival  at 22°C and 30°C or the two curves between cockroach survival  at 37°C and 40°C. However, both curves cockroach survival  at the lower temperatures were (22°C and 30°C) was  significantly different from both curves cockroach survival  at the higher temperatures (all (37°C and 40°C; all  p<0.001). Kaplan-Meier survival curves were compared by log-rank analysis.
