Shared volatile organic compounds between camel metabolic products elicits strong Stomoxys calcitrans attraction

Abstract The sources of animal odours are highly diverse, yet their ecological importance, in host–vector communication, remains unexplored. Here, using the camel (host)–Stomoxys calcitrans (vector) interaction, we collected and analyzed the Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) of camels from four of i...
