Key biotic and environmental constraints on the host‐orientated behaviour of
haematophagous Diptera are summarized. For each major group of biting Diptera …

Mosquitoes that act as disease vectors rely upon olfactory cues to direct several important
behaviors that are fundamentally involved in establishing their overall vectorial capacity. Of …

Background Travellers are confronted with a variety of vector-borne threats. Is one type of
repellent effective against all biting vectors? The aim of this review is to examine the …

Vector control and personal protection against anthropophilic mosquitoes mainly rely on the
use of insecticides and repellents. The search for mosquito-attractive semiochemicals has …
