Abstract：
Mosquitoes are important vectors for human diseases, transmitting pathogens that cause a range of parasitic and viral infections. Mosquito blood-feeding is heterogeneous, meaning that some human hosts are at higher risk of receiving bites than others, and this heterogeneity is multifactorial. Mosquitoes integrate specific cues to locate their hosts, and mosquito attraction differs considerably between individual human hosts. Heterogeneous mosquito biting results from variations in both host attractiveness and availability and can impact transmission of vector-borne diseases. However, the extent and drivers of this heterogeneity and its importance for pathogen transmission remain incompletely understood. Here, we review methods and recent data describing human characteristics that affect host-seeking behavior and host preferences of mosquito disease vectors, and the implications for vector-borne disease transmission.
摘要：
蚊子是人类疾病的重要传播媒介,传播引起一系列寄生虫和病毒感染的病原体。蚊子的血液喂养是不均匀的，这意味着一些人类宿主比其他宿主受到叮咬的风险更高，这种异质性是多因素的。蚊子整合特定的线索来定位它们的宿主，和蚊子的吸引力在个体人类宿主之间有很大差异。不同种类的蚊虫叮咬是由于寄主吸引力和可用性的差异而导致的，并且会影响媒介传播疾病的传播。然而,这种异质性的程度和驱动因素及其对病原体传播的重要性仍未完全了解。这里,我们回顾了描述人类特征的方法和最新数据，这些特征会影响蚊子疾病媒介的寻找宿主行为和宿主偏好，以及对媒介传播疾病传播的影响。
