Comment on <i>‘Fruitless</i> mutant male mosquitoes gain attraction to human odor’

2021-05-25

Abstract excerpt

Female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes integrate multiple sensory cues to locate human hosts for blood meals. While male mosquitoes do not blood feed, male Ae. aegypti swarm around and land on humans in nature. Basrur et al. (2020) generated male Ae. aegypti lacking the fruitless gene and discovered that they gained strong attraction to humans, similar to female mosquitoes. The authors assume that host-seeking is a f...
