Plant-based repellents have been used for generations in traditional practice as a personal
protection measure against host-seeking mosquitoes. Knowledge on traditional repellent …

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

All moving animals, including flies [1–3], sharks [4], and humans [5], experience a dynamic
sensory landscape that is a function of both their trajectory through space and the …

▪ 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 …

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 …

Female mosquitoes are noted for their ability to use odours to locate a host for a blood meal.
Two sensory organs contribute to their sense of smell: the maxillary palps, which measure …

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 …

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a ubiquitous sensory cue that plays multiple roles in insect
behavior. In recent years understanding of the well-known role of CO2 in foraging by …
