Another study about mosquitos and heptadecenoic/margaric acid
This 2022 study published in Cell says that "Highly [mosquito-]attractive subjects produced significantly higher levels of three carboxylic acids—pentadecanoic, heptadecanoic, and nonadecanoic acids—as well as 10 unidentified compounds in this same chemical class." Looks like it backs up the idea that margaric acid is an attractant for the yellow fever mosquito? Still-Can&#39;t-Believe-It&#39;s-Not-Butter (talk) 00:31, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
