      Evaluation Summary:

      This manuscript describes a female mosquito's behavior after a brief exposure to CO2, which has long been known to trigger host-seeking behaviour in female mosquitoes. The authors develop optogenetic tools in Aedes aegypti that enable the controlled delivery of 'fictive' CO2 to them. They show that a brief pulse of fictive CO2 alters the behavioral state of female mosquitoes, which lasts about 15 minutes. It provides new insights into how activation of CO2-sensing olfactory neurons alters the behavioral state of a mosquito towards sensory cues to increase host-seeking behaviors. The study will be of great value to the vector biology community, as well as to neurobiologists in general.
