Abstract
IN studies of the host-seeking behaviour of laboratory-reared AEdes aegypti, response of these mosquitoes to a constant source of heat and moisture was observed. Newly emerged mosquitoes were placed in a 9 cu. ft. cage, and the numbers which probed over a convection current of warm, moist air (80–83°F.), rising into the cage through a port beneath its screen floor, were counted each day in a 16-minute observation.
