文摘

Little is known on the sexual chemoecology of mosquito vectors, with special reference to males. Aggregation pheromone (APs) stimulating swarming mechanisms have been fully characterized only for Aedes aegypti. Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHs) modulate mating behavior in Culicidae species of economic importance. APs coupled with CHs have potential interest for the development of monitoring and trapping systems. Further research dissecting the relative importance of physical and chemical swarming and mating cues is needed.
