Malaria is transmitted to humans by the infectious bite of female anopheline mosquitoes. We are applying mosquito genome-engineering, human volatilomics and quantitative analyses of mosquito behavior to rank human attractiveness to the African malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae and elucidate the impact of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum infection on human scent signatures. Dissecting the chemosensory biology of malaria transmission has the potential to reveal novel insights into organismal chemosensation and generate next-generation strategies to combat malaria and other vector-borne diseases.
