Research progress on the effect of human volatiles on mosquito behavior

doi:10.12140/j.issn.1000-7423.2023.01.002

Abstract

Abstract:

Mosquitoes are vectors of mosquito-borne infectious diseases such as malaria, dengue, Zika, and yellow fever. Mosquitoes detect the presence of hosts by integrating chemosensory, thermal, and visual cues. Among these, volatiles is crucial for host detection in mosquitoes. In this review, we summarized the sources and factors of human volatiles and their effects on mosquito behavior, which may provide a new approach to the development of mosquito attractants and repellents.

Key words: Mosquitoes, Behavior, Volatiles
