Several studies have demonstrated that malaria parasites can render vertebrate hosts - including humans - more attractive to biting mosquitoes. A recent study provides evidence that Plasmodium falciparum infection alters the aldehyde composition of human foot odor, and suggests that this may be the proximate cause of increased attraction.
多项研究表明，疟原虫可使脊椎动物宿主（包括人类）对吸血蚊子更具吸引力。最近的一项研究提供了证据，表明恶性疟原虫感染改变了人体脚部气味中的醛类成分，并表明这可能是增加吸引力的直接原因。
