Extract

It has been shown that Drosophila melanogaster fly to the source of an attractive scent by making a series of highly stereotyped responses to olfactory and visual stimuli (Kellogg, Frizel, and Wright, 1962). The comparable processes by which Aedes aegypti are guided to a warm-blooded host have now been studied and are the subject of this paper.
