Popis: The attraction of gravidCulex quinquefasciatus by the oviposition pheromone,erythro-6-acetoxy-5-hexadecanolide, and by polluted water is described. Both materials increase oviposition and when combined the effect is additive. The oviposition behaviour is reflected by the antennal sensitivity to these compounds.
