Why humans are attractive to malaria mosquitoes

Year: 2003

Type: other

Abstract: Malaria mosquitoes use host odours to find their blood sources, but little is known about the semiochemicals that mediate this behaviour. A combined study is undertaken to identify the volatile human-specific compounds that are used in the host-seeking behaviour of the females of Anopheles gambiae
