Mosquitoes use plant sugars and vertebrate blood as nutritional resources. When searching
for blood hosts, some mosquitoes express preferential behavior for selected species. Here …

▪ Abstract The African mosquito species Anopheles gambiae sensu lato sl and Anopheles

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 …

Vector control and personal protection against anthropophilic mosquitoes mainly rely on the

Background The persistence of malaria in large parts of sub-Saharan Africa has motivated
the development of novel tools to complement existing control programmes, including gene …

It is known that human individuals show different levels of attractiveness to mosquitoes. In
this study, we investigated the chemical basis for low attractiveness. We recorded behaviors …
