Chemical signatures of human odour generate a unique neural code in the brain of <i>Aedes aegypti</i> mosquitoes

2020-11-02

Abstract excerpt

A globally invasive form of the mosquito Aedes aegypti specializes in biting humans, making it an efficient vector of dengue, yellow fever, Zika, and chikungunya viruses. Host-seeking females strongly prefer human odour over the odour of non-human animals, but exactly how they distinguish the two is not known. Vertebrate odours are complex blends of volatile chemicals with many shared components, making discrimin...
