First, they will
35、sense the CO2 in the breath from a distance that can be more than 30 feet. After the CO2, then they begin to sense human body smells.

The latter disease alone causes over half a million deaths each year around the globe.“But most of what we know about mosquitoes sense of smell comes from the study of the brains of mice and fruit flies
