In an olfactometer study on the response of the anthropophilic malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae s.s. (Diptera, Culicidae) to human sweat it was found that freshly collected sweat, mostly of eccrine… Expand
Incubated Human Sweat but not Fresh Sweat Attracts the Malaria Mosquito Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto
A dual-port olfactometer was used to quantify behavioral responses of the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto to volatiles emitted by sweat samples collected from three human volunteers.… Expand

Improving efficacy of Box gravid traps for collecting Culex quinquefasciatus
ABSTRACT In outdoor screen cages, one and two-choice assays were conducted with gravid Cx. quinquefasciatus to assess and improve the efficacy of the Box gravid trap. Subsequently, in a field trial,… Expand
Oviposition Responses of Gravid Female Culex quinquefasciatus to Egg Rafts and Low Doses of Oviposition Pheromone Under Semifield Conditions
Semifield experiments were conducted to study the oviposition of gravid Culex quinquefasciatus females in response to one or 10 egg rafts, or 3.0 μg of synthetic oviposition pheromone,… Expand
