... responses of the mosquito CO 2 , a brief encounter with a filament of human skin odour did not induce a consistent change in mosquito flight. These differential responses were reflected in further experiments with broad plumes. A broad homogeneous plume of skin odour induced rapid upwind flight and source...

...-released odours. To establish the relative importance and interactions of CO 2 and other body emissions in freely flying mosquitoes, we presented female yellow fever mosquitoes Aedes aegypti L. with broad plumes of human skin odour and CO 2 at natural concentrations and dilutions thereof in a wind tunnel...
