“…Murvosh et a!. (1964) and Rogoff et al (1964) reported that male house flies are attracted to dead virgin females, and they related this behavior to the presence of a sex pheromone. Adams and Hintz (1969) reported that females with ovaries in stages 3 and 4 rarely mated, but thereafter mating steadily increased and males preferred females with ovaries in stages 6-10.…”

“…Rogoff et al (1964) reported that benzene extracts of female Musca domestica (L.) elicited both attraction and excitation of mating behavior patterns in males. Carlson et al (1971) have found Z-9-tricosene as sex attractant for house fly; similarly, the versatile role of hydrocarbons in different insects such as stable fly (Muhammed et al 1975), little house fly (Uebel et al 1977), horn fly (Macklay 1977), tsetse fly (Carlson et al 1978;Huyton et al 1980;Carlson and Schlein 1991), and fruit fly (Oguma et al 1992a, b) has been elucidated.…”

Oviposition pheromones specifically influence the females of many insects to lay eggs in the sites resulting in more egg deposition. A previous report describes the principal role of n-heneicosane (C(21)) identified and characterized from the larval cuticle of Aedes aegypti (L.) in attracting the gravid mosquitoes to oviposit in treated substrates among other chemical components. However, the means by which this compound is perceived by the females for oviposition has not been reported. In this study, we have recorded the peripheral olfactory responses from the antenna of Ae. aegypti from 10(-7) g to 10(-3) g doses of n-heneicosane. The EAG response of female mosquitoes increased in a dose-dependent manner with increasing stimulus strength. In the orientation assay using Y-maze olfactometer, female mosquitoes were attracted to the odor plume of 10(-6) g and 10(-5) g dose, while the higher dose of 10(-3) g plume enforced repellency to gravid mosquitoes. The response to oviposition substrates by gravid Ae. aegypti females differed across the range of concentrations of n-heneicosane under multiple choice conditions, larger number of eggs were deposited in 10 ppm (10 mg/l) solutions compared to lower and higher concentrations indicating 10 ppm was most attractive. Application of n-heneicosane at 10 ppm in breeding habitats will be a useful method to attract the gravid mosquitoes using ovitraps for surveillance and monitoring. The possible use of this compound in monitoring of mosquito population in endemic areas in relevance to integrated vector management strategies is discussed in detail.

“…Presence of a house fly sex pheromone has been noted, because live o r dead female flies were found to be attractive to males (4). Other studies revealed that male flies were also attracted to fly feces and lipid extracts of fly feces (5).…”
