Mosquitoes can cause serious health problems, such as malaria, that affect both the welfare and development of local communities. By studying mosquito flight behaviour we contribute to the fundamental knowledge of mosquito ecology and aim to improve vector control tools. We developed a tracking system that quantifies mosquito host-seeking behaviour and their responses towards specific host cues.
