▪ Abstract The African mosquito species Anopheles gambiae sensu lato sl and Anopheles
funestus rank among the world's most efficient vectors of human malaria. Their unique …

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

Human sweat samples were chemically fractionated into acid and non‐acid components.
The most abundant volatile compounds present in the fractions were identified by linked gas …

Feeding behaviour of the malaria vector Anopheles arabiensis Patton (Diptera: Culicidae)
was monitored for 12 months (March 2003− February 2004) in the Konso District of southern …

To obtain information on adult populations of Afrotropical malaria vector mosquitoes, mark‐
release‐recapture experiments were performed with Anopheles females collected from …

Using a dual‐choice olfactometer, the role of l‐lactic acid was investigated in relation to host‐
seeking and selection by female Anopheles gambiae Giles sensu stricto (Diptera: Culicidae) …

To test for the effects of host accessibility on blood-feeding behavior, we assessed degrees
of anthropophily of the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae at two stages of the behavioral …

Background Many studies have suggested that variability in the attractiveness of humans to
host-seeking mosquitoes is caused by differences in the make-up of body emanations, and …

The role of odors in mosquito host preferences was studied in a village near Ouagadougou,
Burkina Faso. Two odor-baited entry-traps were put beside one another and a choice of host …

Background The successful development of odour-baited trapping systems for mosquitoes
depends on the identification of behaviourally active semiochemicals, besides the design …
