<scp>L</scp> ‐lactic acid: a human‐signifying host cue for the anthropophilic mosquito <i>Anopheles gambiae</i>

1 Mar 2002

Abstract excerpt

Using a dual-choice olfactometer, the role of L-lactic acid was investigated in relation to host-seeking and selection by female Anopheles gambiae Giles sensu stricto (Diptera: Culicidae) mosquitoes in a Y-tube bioassay. L-lactic acid alone was not attractive, but it significantly augmented the attractiveness of CO2, skin odour and skin-rubbing extracts from humans and other vertebrates. Comparing the left and...
