<i>Aedes aegypti</i> vision-guided target recognition requires two redundant rhodopsins

2020-07-01

Abstract excerpt

Blood-feeding insects, such as the mosquito, Aedes ( Ae .) aegypti , use multiple senses to seek out and bite humans [1, 2]. Upon exposure to CO 2 , the attention of female mosquitoes to potential human targets is greatly increased. Female mosquitoes use vision to assist them in honing in on hosts that may be up to 10 meters away [3–9]. Only after coming into close range do convective heat from skin and odors...
