Abstract
In a previous communication (Kellogg and Wright, 1962a), we have drawn attention to the role of warm wet convection currents in bringing about the alightment of Aedes aegypti after they have been stimulated to fly by human breath. In some of those experiments, copper bars were warmed at one end and cooled at the other and covered with dampened cloth, and the number of mosquitoes touching or alighting at various points along their length was counted. The results showed that the warm wet end was highly attractive.Keywords
