Abstract

Inter-mosquito sound detection is essential during in-fly mating behaviour and some species detect the sound of their blood hosts to localize them. First, this presentation will describe 1) the basic mechanism of mosquito hearing, 2) the ranges of sound frequencies and sound levels they can hear in electrophysiology studies, and 3) the behavioural response to sound stimuli and natural sound sources. Second, this knowledge will be used to draw some implications for controlling mosquito with sounds (traps, repellents, or mating disruptions).
