Journal ArticleDOI
Rice volatiles lure gravid malaria mosquitoes, Anopheles arabiensis.

TL;DR: It is shown that gravid Anopheles arabiensis are attracted and oviposit in response to the odour present in the air surrounding rice, which provides important substrates for the development of novel and cost-effective control measures that target female malaria mosquitoes, irrespective of indoor or outdoor feeding and resting patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI
A(maize)ing attraction: gravid Anopheles arabiensis are attracted and oviposit in response to maize pollen odours
Betelehem Wondwosen,Betelehem Wondwosen,Sharon R. Hill,Göran Birgersson,Emiru Seyoum,Habte Tekie,Rickard Ignell +6 more
TL;DR: The cues identified from maize pollen provide important substrates for the development of novel control measures that modulate gravid female behaviour, thus providing a much-needed addition to the arsenal of tools that currently target indoor biting mosquitoes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sweet attraction: sugarcane pollen-associated volatiles attract gravid Anopheles arabiensis.
Betelehem Wondwosen,Göran Birgersson,Habte Tekie,Baldwyn Torto,Rickard Ignell,Sharon R. Hill +5 more
TL;DR: The attraction of gravid females to sugarcane pollen volatile demonstrated in this study, together with the previously found grass-associated volatiles, raise the potential of developing a bioactive chimeric blend to attract gravid malaria mosquitoes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of a chimeric odour blend for attracting gravid malaria vectors.
Betelehem Wondwosen,Mengistu Dawit,Mengistu Dawit,Yared Debebe,Habte Tekie,Sharon R. Hill,Rickard Ignell +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a two-choice olfactometer to identify a ratio-optimized attractive blend for malaria vectors, which was then assessed under field conditions in malaria endemic villages in Ethiopia, to assess the effect of dose, trap type, and placement relative to ground level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Odor-mediated response of gravid Aedes aegypti to mosquito-associated symbiotic bacteria.
Katherine D Mosquera,Zaid Khan,Betelehem Wondwosen,Beatrix Alsanius,Sharon R. Hill,Rickard Ignell,Marcelo G. Lorenzo +6 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that bacterial symbionts, which are associated with gravid mosquitoes and may be transferred to aquatic habitats during egg-laying, together with their volatiles act as oviposition cues indicating the suitability of active breeding sites to conspecific females.
