Insect Repellents Mediate Species-Specific Olfactory Behaviours in Mosquitoes

2020-03-25

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background The species-specific mode of action for DEET and many other mosquito repellents is often unclear. Confusion may arise for many reasons. First, the response of a single mosquito species is often used to represent all mosquito species. Second, behavioural studies usually test the effect of repellents on mosquito attraction towards human odorants, rather than their direct repuls...
