Abstract
A triple cage olfactometer for evaluating mosquito attraction response s is described. The olfactometer is designed for easy access for inter ior cleaning, has a mechanism that allows synchronous operation of the port doors on each cage, and requires 0.8 m(2) of floor space. it is constructed of clear acrylic, contains 3 test chambers in a tiered con figuration, was paired removable sleeves and mosquito traps on each ca ge, and is equipped with a altered external air supply system that has temperature and relative humidity control.
