Modulation of Host Learning in Aedes aegypti Mosquitoes

Presentation transcript:

Experience impacts future host choice in mosquitoes. Experience impacts future host choice in mosquitoes. Evidence from epidemiological studies suggests that 20% of a host population can be responsible for 80% of transmission potential from disease vectors such as mosquitoes (Woolhouse et al., 1997). One explanation for this observation is that mosquitoes can ‘learn’ from experience. (A) Sensory cues can differ from one individual to another, such as different humans emitting different odor profiles. If a mosquito bites an individual with a certain odor profile and has a positive experience, it might learn to associate that odor profile with a high-quality blood meal. Subsequently, it will choose to bite those individuals with similar odor profiles, here depicted in different colors. (B) In the laboratory, mosquito learning can be assayed, for example by pairing a conditioned stimulus (CS), such as an odor delivered into a chamber via tubing, with an unconditioned stimulus (US), such as a mechanical shock delivered by placing vials of mosquitoes on a vortex mixer. The CS is presented for 1 min, the US is presented for the last 30 s overlapping with the CS, and the inter-trial interval (ITI) is 2 min. (C) After 24 h, mosquitoes are tested in a y-maze olfactometer. A pump blows clean air into a control arm and the CS odor into the other arm. Mosquitoes are placed in a starting box, fly down the main arm into a central box and then ‘choose’ between the two arms. A preference index is calculated as the number of mosquitoes choosing the tested odor minus the number choosing the control arm, divided by the total number of mosquitoes. If the preference index becomes significantly more negative after training, the mosquitoes are considered to have learned to associate the tested odor with the aversive shock. B and C are adapted from Vinauger et al. (2018). Gabriella H. Wolff, and Jeffrey A. Riffell J Exp Biol 2018;221:jeb157131 © 2018. Published by The Company of Biologists Ltd
