摘要：

Pregnant women attracted twice the number of Anopheles gambiae complex-the predominant African malaria-carrying mosquito-than did their non-pregnant counterparts. We postulate that physiological and behavioural changes that occur during pregnancy are responsible for increased attractiveness, which could be important in intervention strategies aimed at protecting this high-risk group against malaria.
