Sound plays an important role in mosquito sensory ecology. Acoustic perception and acoustically driven behaviours therefore represent potentially effective control targets. Previous scientific efforts around acoustic-based control and surveillance have not been systematic and ambiguity around the exact role of acoustic communication in conspecific interactions remains. Here, we briefly review recent advances in mosquito auditory physiology and behavioural ecology as well as ongoing activities to incorporate sound into control and surveillance tools. We highlight areas where increased collaboration between physiologists, molecular biologists, behavioural ecologists and control experts is needed to capitalize on this progress and realize the potential of sound-based technologies and strategies.

声音在蚊子的感官生态中起着重要的作用。因此，声学感知和声学驱动行为代表了潜在的有效控制目标。以前围绕基于声学的控制和监视的科学工作尚未系统化，围绕声学通信在特定相互作用中确切作用的模棱两可仍然存在。在这里，我们简要回顾了蚊子听觉生理学和行为生态学的最新进展，以及将声音纳入控制和监视工具的持续活动。我们重点介绍了生理学家，分子生物学家，行为生态学家和控制专家之间需要加强协作的领域，以利用这一进展并实现基于声音的技术和策略的潜力。
