有证据表明，某些脊椎动物的防御（防蚊）行为成功地阻止了被吸引的蚊子进食。虽然喂养模式通常归因于蚊子的偏好，但我们的研究结果表明，宿主行为在确定自然界中蚊子的血液来源方面起着重要作用，从而在蚊媒疾病的流行病学中起着重要作用。
Evidence is presented that the defensive (antimosquito) behavior of certain vertebrates successfully prevents attracted mosquitoes from feeding. Although patterns of feeding have generally been ascribed to the preferences of mosquitoes, our findings suggest that host behavior plays an important role in determining the blood sources of mosquitoes in nature, and thereby, in the epidemiology of mosquito-borne disease.
