L-Lactic acid was the major component in material isolated from humans that was active as an attractant for female yellow fever mosquitoes, Aedes aegypti (L.). The L(+)-isomer was several times as attractive as the D-isomer. Good correlation was found between the attractiveness of an individual to mosquitoes and the quantity of lactic acid present in an acetone washing of his hand.
L-乳酸是从人体分离出的物质中的主要成分，它对雌性黄热病蚊子埃及伊蚊（Aedes aegypti (L.)）具有引诱活性。L(+)异构体的引诱力是D-异构体的几倍。研究发现，个体对蚊子的吸引力与他手上丙酮洗液中乳酸的含量之间存在良好的相关性。
