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

Female mosquitoes use chemical and physical cues, including vision, smell, heat, and
humidity, to orient toward hosts. Body odors are produced by skin resident bacteria that …

The use of semiochemicals in odour-based traps for surveillance and control of vector
mosquitoes is deemed a new and viable component for integrated vector management …

Novel malaria vector control strategies targeting the odour-orientation of mosquitoes during
host-seeking, such as 'attract-and-kill'or 'push-and-pull', have been suggested as …

Background Odour-baited traps are useful for vector surveillance and control. However,
most existing traps have shown inconsistent recapture rates across different mosquito …

Simple Summary Membrane feeding assays have been widely used in malaria transmission
research and insectary colony maintenance. Here, we investigate whether a membrane …

Background Emerging arboviral diseases like Zika, dengue and chikungunya that are
transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, are increasingly threatening human health …

Aquatic parasites may respond to various attractants and cues to find and infect a host.
Traps that use these attractants as 'bait'have potential to reduce the number of pathogenic …

Background Novel malaria vector control approaches aim to combine tools for maximum
protection. This study aimed to evaluate novel and re-evaluate existing putative repellent …

Exhaled CO2 is an important host-seeking cue for Anopheles mosquitoes, which is detected
by a highly conserved heteromeric receptor consisting of three 7-transmembrane proteins …
