Article Synopsis
- - Mosquito-borne diseases like dengue, yellow fever, and Zika severely impact many people, especially in developing nations, with Aedes aegypti being a key mosquito species responsible for spreading these viruses.
- - Aedes aegypti females use a combination of sensory cues, including body heat, chemical odors, and visual signals, to locate humans, and this study identifies thermal infrared (IR) radiation as an important mid-range cue in their navigation.
- - The research shows that the detection of IR radiation involves specific sensory neurons in the mosquito's antenna, which are activated by heat and contribute to their effectiveness in finding hosts.
