Geosmin Attracts Aedes aegypti Mosquitoes to Oviposition Sites

Melo et al. show that geosmin mediates egg laying in the yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti, which associates geosmin with microbes present in the larval aquatic habitat. The authors further show that geosmin can be used as bait in oviposition traps and that geosmin can be substituted by beetroot p...

description Melo et al. show that geosmin mediates egg laying in the yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti, which associates geosmin with microbes present in the larval aquatic habitat. The authors further show that geosmin can be used as bait in oviposition traps and that geosmin can be substituted by beetroot peel for mosquito trapping in developing countries.
