General visual and contingent thermal cues interact to elicit attraction in female <i>Aedes aegypti</i> mosquitoes

2019-01-03

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes use multiple sensory modalities to hunt human hosts to obtain a blood-meal for egg production. Attractive cues include carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), a major component of exhaled breath [1, 2]; heat elevated above ambient temperature, signifying warm-blooded skin [3, 4]; and dark visual contrast [5, 6], proposed to bridge long-range olfactory and short-range thermal cu...
