Abstract

The attraction of gravid Culex quinquefasciatus by the oviposition pheromone, erythro-6-acetoxy-5-hexadecanolide, and by polluted water is described. Both materials increase oviposition and when combined the effect is additive. The oviposition behaviour is reflected by the antennal sensitivity to these compounds.
