本文就蚊虫驱避机理的研究进行了综述,详细介绍了目前两类主流的驱避机理假说:驱避剂干扰嗅觉系统以阻断蚊虫对宿主气味的识别、驱避剂激活嗅觉神经元引起蚊虫的主动躲避行为。介绍了笔者所在实验室近几年对驱避剂进行的相关研究,以及从驱避剂与引诱剂缔合作用的角度对驱避机理的研究。
A review about the research of repelling mechanism is presented. Two mainstream hypotheses possible repelling mechanisms have been proposed:repellent interferes with the mosquitoes olfactory system to block the recog- nition of the host odor, therefore, mosquitoes can' t detect the existance of the host; or mosquitoes evade host after its olfactory neuron is activated by repellent. Some research relating repellent in the author~ laboratory was introduced as well, especially the investigation on repelling mechanism from the perspective of association between repellent and at- tractant.
