Abstract
How does the common insect repellent DEET modify a mosquito's ability to detect humans? New research using GCaMP-expressing mosquitoes suggests that DEET works differently for different mosquito species. For An. coluzzii, DEET and other non-volatile repellents mask the mosquitoes' ability to detect odors.Entities:
