Abstract
Carbon dioxide alone was a mosquito attractant in disease vector studies. Large numbers of female mosquitoes of several species were attracted into a trap baited with carbon dioxide. It consistently attracted more mosquitoes than calf or chicken baits. This chemotropism may be a major factor in controlling host selection by various species of mosquitoes.
