<i>fruitless</i> mutant male mosquitoes gain attraction to human odor

2020-09-04

Abstract excerpt

<h4>SUMMARY</h4> While sexual dimorphism in courtship and copulation behavior is common in the animal kingdom, sexual dimorphism in feeding behavior is rare. The Aedes aegypti mosquito provides an example of extreme sexual dimorphism in feeding, because only the females show strong attraction to humans, and bite them to obtain a blood-meal necessary to stimulate egg production 1-8 . The genetic basis of this co...
