Abstract
The role of octenol as a mosquito attractant is still under investigat ion. When used alone, octenol has been a good attractant for only a fe w species. However, there appears to be a synergistic response of spec ies of the genera Aedes, Anopheles, Coquillettidia, Psorophora, and Ma nsonia to the combination of octenol and CO2. Further research is requ ired to determine the potential role of this compound in mosquito mana gement programs.
