Differential mosquito attraction to humans is associated with skin-derived carboxylic acid levels

2022-01-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes feed on human blood, which they use to develop their eggs. It has been widely noted that some people are more attractive to mosquitoes than others, but the mechanistic basis of this phenomenon is poorly understood. Here we tested mosquito attraction to skin odor collected from human subjects and identified people who are exceptionally attractive or unattractive to...
