Mosquito behavioural aspects of vector-human interactions in the Anopheles gambiae complex

C Costantini et al. Parassitologia. 1999 Sep.

Abstract

The behaviour of two of the most anthropophilic malaria vectors in the world, Anopheles gambiae Giles and An. arabiensis Patton, is revisited with respect to recent studies on their host preferences and the chemical ecology of host-seeking. Issues are discussed in relation to the ways anthropophily may have arisen in the complex, and the opportunities the study of olfaction and host-seeking behaviour offers to malaria control in Africa.
