Female mosquitoes use odor cues to locate hosts for blood meals and are often more likely to approach the odor of certain species or individuals over others.

This assay uses a two-port olfactometer and can be adapted to study a wide variety of odor sources including live hosts, host-scented nylon sleeves or host hair samples, and single odorants or odorant blends.
