Detection and perception of generic host volatiles by mosquitoes: responses to CO2 constrains host-seeking behaviour
Natural selection has favoured specialization in anthropophilic mosquito host choice, yet in the absence of human hosts, females feed on a selected range of vertebrates. For host recognition, we hypothesize that mosquitoes primarily rely on generic host volatiles. Detection and perception of such co...
