Mosquitoes transmit many debilitating diseases including malaria, dengue and Zika. Odors mediate behaviors that directly impact disease transmission (blood-feeding) as well as life history events that contribute to mosquito survival and fitness (mating and oviposition, nectar foraging, larval foraging and predator avoidance). In addition to innate olfaction-mediated behaviors, mosquitoes rely on olfactory experience throughout their life to inform advantageous choices in many of these important behaviors. Previous reviews have addressed either the chemical ecology of mosquitoes, or olfactory-driven behaviors including host-feeding or oviposition. Adding to this literature, we use a holistic life history perspective to integrate and compare innate and learned olfactory behavior at various stages of mosquito development.
蚊子传播多种使人虚弱的疾病，包括疟疾、登革热和寨卡病毒。气味介导着直接影响疾病传播（吸血）的行为，以及有助于蚊子生存和适应力（交配和产卵、花蜜觅食、幼虫觅食和躲避捕食者）的生活史事件。除了先天的嗅觉介导行为外，蚊子在其一生中还依赖嗅觉体验来告知许多重要行为中的有利选择。以前的综述要么涉及蚊子的化学生态学，要么涉及嗅觉驱动的行为，包括宿主取食或产卵。在此基础上，我们使用整体生活史视角来整合和比较蚊子发育各个阶段的先天和后天嗅觉行为。
