Résumé
The yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti uses multiple sensory systems to identify a blood-meal victim. Recent work by Chandel et al. identifies infrared radiation as a medium-distance cue acting through TrpA1 and two opsins to help target hosts, furthering our understanding of the multisensory hunting strategy used by mosquitoes on the prowl.
