TY  - JOUR
AB  - Sound plays an important role in mosquito sensory ecology. Acoustic perception and acoustically-driven behaviours therefore represent potentially effective control targets. Previous scientific efforts around acoustic-based control and surveillance have not been systematic and ambiguity around the exact role of acoustic communication in conspecific interactions remains. Here, we briefly review recent advances in mosquito auditory physiology and behavioural ecology as well as ongoing activities to incorporate sound into control and surveillance tools. We highlight areas where increased collaboration between physiologists, molecular biologists, behavioural ecologists, and control experts is needed to capitalize on this progress and realize the potential of sound-based technologies and strategies.
