Taste receptors which evoke ingestion of blood in the mosquito, Aedes aegypti L., are stimulated by adenosine tetraphosphate, adenosine triphosphate, and adenosine monophosphate, in decreasing order. No other nucleotide is effective. Certain chelators can partially simulate the effect of nucleotides. The feeding response is elicited only at an osmotic pressure close to that of blood, and requires the presence of sodium ions.
在蚊子（埃及伊蚊）中，引发吸血行为的味觉受体受到四磷酸腺苷、三磷酸腺苷和一磷酸腺苷的刺激，刺激强度依次递减。其他核苷酸均无效。某些螯合剂可以部分模拟核苷酸的作用。这种摄食反应仅在接近血液渗透压的渗透压下被引发，并且需要钠离子的存在。
