Temporal synchrony between human odor rhythms and mosquito olfactory preference shapes host attraction

2026-01-21

Abstract excerpt

For anthropophilic mosquitoes such as Aedes aegypti , aligning host-seeking with human availability enhances foraging efficiency and reproductive success. Although time of day modulates mosquito activity and olfactory sensitivity, it remains unknown whether human hosts display rhythmic changes in odor cues and whether mosquitoes adjust their sensory responses accordingly. Here, we combine chemical, behavioral, ge...
