Abstract:
The energy of the physiological activities for both male and female mosquitoes is provided by feeding sugar outdoors. The attractive toxic sugar bait (ATSB) was developed according to the behavior, and showed a good result in reducing mosquito population size. This paper introduces the progress on the sugar-feeding behavior of mosquitoes and application in vector-borne disease control.
