Viktoria Stromsky and Melika Hajkazemian et al. examine the potential effect of HMPBB, a Plasmodium metabolite, on blood-feeding rates of major vector mosquitoes, like Anopheles gambiae. They report that HMBPP significantly increased blood feeding on all tested mosquito species, and suggest that it might be used to stimulate mosquitoes to gorge themselves on toxic baits, and ultimately die.
