Abstract
The responses of male Aedes albopictus to a bait mouse were examined under laboratory conditions using the cage-test method. In most of the tests fewer males were recovered in the bait cage than the control cage. There was no evidence that male mosquitoes were fond of the mouse or attracted to the animal.
