Composition of Human Skin Microbiota Affects Attractiveness to Malaria Mosquitoes

28 Dec 2011

Abstract excerpt

The African malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto continues to play an important role in malaria transmission, which is aggravated by its high degree of anthropophily, making it among the foremost vectors of this disease. In the current study we set out to unravel the strong association between this mosquito species and human beings, as it is determined by odorant cues derived from the human skin....
