人皮肤微生物对蚊虫嗅觉行为影响的研究进展

Research progress on the effects of human skin microbiota on mosquito olfactory behavior

蚊虫是疟疾、登革热、黄热病等传染病的传播媒介。蚊虫防制可以降低传染病的发生和流行。近年来研究发现,人皮肤微生物的代谢产物或产生的挥发性气味物质对蚊虫具有一定的吸引力,有望为蚊虫控制提供新方法。本文就人皮肤微生物的组成、分布及其产生的挥发性气味物质对蚊虫嗅觉行为的影响进行综述,为新型蚊虫驱避剂和引诱剂的开发及应用提供参考。

Mosquitoes are the vectors for many infectious diseases,including malaria,dengue and yellow fever.Mosquito control measures can reduce the transmission of these infectious diseases.In recent years,it has been discovered that the metabolites or volatile odorants produced by human skin microbiota are attractive to mosquitoes,which is expected to provide new methods for mosquito control approaches.In this review,we summarized the composition and distribution of human skin microbiota and the effects of volatile odorants on the mosquito olfactory behavior,which may provide a foundation for the development and implementation of novel mosquito repellents and attractants.
