Decoding Smells that Attract and Repel the Malaria Mosquito
On World Malaria Day, we met with Ali Afify, PhD, assistant professor of biology, to find out how malaria mosquitos use their keen sense of smell (olfaction) to bite us and make egg-laying decisions. The Afify lab at Drexel University is pioneering new malaria mosquito control methods, by exploring safe chemical repellents that can prevent biting and egg-laying where humans live.
