一个风洞生物测定系统，以前开发的远程主机位置刺激的评价，被用来调查的阿拉伯按蚊Patton花气味的反应。研究发现，蚊子会通过飞行和着陆对千里光花序以及A.在没有视觉刺激的情况下，空气夹带技术被用来提取植物群气味的生物和化学测试。两性的阿拉伯按蚊被发现响应花的气味提取物。植物群气味的主要成分被初步鉴定为环状或双环单萜。
A wind-tunnel bioassay system, developed previously for the evaluation of long-range host-location stimuli, was used to investigate the responses of Anopheles arabiensis Patton to floral odours. Mosquitoes were found to respond by flight and landing to Achillea millefolium inflorescences and also to the odour of A. millefolium in the absence of visual stimuli. An air-entrainment technique was used to extract flora odours for biological and chemical testing. Both sexes of Anopheles arabiensis were found to respond to the floral odour extract. The major component of the flora odour was tentatively identified as a cyclic or bicyclic monoterpene.
