摘要：

Female mosquitoes seeking blood respond primarily to kairomones emitted by potential hosts. We now confirm, in the laboratory, field evidence showing that the presence of other female mosquitoes at the host significantly enhances the host-seeking response. Olfactometry strongly suggests that a chemical of mosquito origin is responsible. The adaptive value of this behaviour is discussed.
