There are 3559 species of mosquitoes in the world (Harbach 2018) but, so far, only a handful of them have been a focus of olfactory neuroscience and neurobiology research. Here we discuss mosquito olfactory anatomy and function and connect these to mosquito ecology. We highlight the least well-known and thus most interesting aspects of mosquito olfactory systems and discuss promising future directions. We hope this review will encourage the insect neuroscience community to work more broadly across mosquito species instead of focusing narrowly on the main disease vectors.

不同蚊子种类的嗅觉系统

世界上有 3559 种蚊子（Harbach 2018），但到目前为止，只有少数蚊子成为嗅觉神经科学和神经生物学研究的焦点。在这里，我们讨论蚊子的嗅觉解剖结构和功能，并将其与蚊子生态学联系起来。我们重点介绍蚊子嗅觉系统中最不为人所知但也是最有趣的方面，并讨论有希望的未来方向。我们希望这篇综述能够鼓励昆虫神经科学界在蚊子物种上更广泛地开展工作，而不是狭隘地关注主要疾病媒介。
