Abstract:A review about the research of repelling mechanism is presented.Two mainstream hypotheses possible repelling mechanisms have been proposed:repellent interferes with the mosquitoes olfactory system to block the recognition of the host odor,therefore,mosquitoes can' t detect the existance of the host ; or mosquitoes evade host after its olfactory neuron is activated by repellent.Some research relating repellent in the author(s) laboratory was introduced as well,especially the investigation on repelling mechanism from the perspective of association between repellent and attractant.
