Very excited to share our recent paper in @CurrentBiology where we study how human scent guides Anopheles gambiae thermotaxis and host selection in the semi-field!

Have you ever wondered how mosquitoes find you over long distances and why they bite you more than other people? Check out our recent work published in @CurrentBiology led by @dags263 & @stephrankin2 in collaboration with the Macha Research Trust, Zambia. cell.com/current-biology/ful…

This #WorldMosquitoDay, watch this by Dr. Sachie Kanatani from the @PhotiniSinnis17 Lab. It is terrifying and extraordinary at once. 5th-place winner in the 2021 #NikonSmallWorldInMotion competition. bit.ly/3OBiWor Photo: Dr. Sachie Kanatani & Dr. Photini Sinnis
This #WorldMosquitoDay, take a look at this mosquito spitting out malaria parasites 🔬
It's carrying sporozoites, the infective stage of #malaria. If you got bitten, you could be infected.
🎥 from the Sinnis Lab at JHMRI, which investigates this stage of malaria transmission

Why did a bunch of volunteers pipe their scents into a skating rink full of mosquitoes? To help @McMenimanLab learn the exact smells that mosquitoes prefer. Hear more on today’s @publichealthpod with @SDesmon and @JHMRImalaria’s Conor McMeniman.
