Abstract

Mosquitoes obtain large amounts of blood from hosts in a short period of time. To efficiently obtain high-quality blood without being noticed by the host, mosquitoes sense external factors such as the taste of the host blood and the surrounding environment, and integrate these signals with their own internal information to determine whether to initiate blood feeding and how long to continue feeding. With the development of gene editing and behavior monitoring techniques, the factors that control blood feeding are being identified. Elucidating the factors that contribute to blood feeding is expected to provide new ideas for artificially controlling blood feeding, which has often been overlooked behind host attraction mechanisms. Furthermore, understanding salivary components, mechanisms controlling satiety in feeding, and differences between sugar feeding and blood feeding would help us understand how some mosquitoes have adopted and developed blood feeding over the course of evolution.

蚊子吸血的内在和外在调节。

蚊子能在短时间内从宿主身上获取大量血液。为了在不被宿主察觉的情况下高效获取高质量的血液，蚊子会感知宿主血液的味道和周围环境等外部因素，并将这些信号与自身的内部信息相结合，以决定是否开始吸血以及吸血持续多长时间。随着基因编辑和行为监测技术的发展，控制吸血的因素正在被确定。阐明导致吸血的因素有望为人工控制吸血提供新思路，而在宿主吸引机制背后，吸血往往被忽视。此外，了解唾液成分、控制进食饱腹感的机制以及糖食和血食之间的差异，将有助于我们理解一些蚊子是如何在进化过程中采用和发展血食的。

期刊介绍： Current Opinion in Insect Science is a new systematic review journal that aims to provide specialists with a unique and educational platform to keep up–to–date with the expanding volume of information published in the field of Insect Science. As this is such a broad discipline, we have determined themed sections each of which is reviewed once a year. The following 11 areas are covered by Current Opinion in Insect Science. -Ecology -Insect genomics -Global Change Biology -Molecular Physiology (Including Immunity) -Pests and Resistance -Parasites, Parasitoids and Biological Control -Behavioural Ecology -Development and Regulation -Social Insects -Neuroscience -Vectors and Medical and Veterinary Entomology There is also a section that changes every year to reflect hot topics in the field. Section Editors, who are major authorities in their area, are appointed by the Editors of the journal. They divide their section into a number of topics, ensuring that the field is comprehensively covered and that all issues of current importance are emphasized. Section Editors commission articles from leading scientists on each topic that they have selected and the commissioned authors write short review articles in which they present recent developments in their subject, emphasizing the aspects that, in their opinion, are most important. In addition, they provide short annotations to the papers that they consider to be most interesting from all those published in their topic over the previous year.
