BALTIMORE, Maryland, Feb. 22 (TNSjou) -- Johns Hopkins Medicine issued the following news release:
In a bid to understand why mosquitoes may be more attracted to one human than another, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers say they have mapped specialized receptors on the insects' nerve cells that are able to fine-tune their ability to detect particularly "welcoming" odors in human skin.
Receptors on mosquito neurons have an important role in the insects� . . .
