Received 19 Apr 2024

This review comprehensively explores the morphology of the mosquito auditory organs – antennae and Johnston’s organs. Spatial and frequency characteristics of auditory sensory neurons within Johnston’s organs are discussed, as well as the mechanisms of mechanotransduction in these neurons. The review presents findings from studies investigating the aspects of mosquito perception of acoustic signals when their auditory system is subjected to vibrations generated by flapping wings. Additionally, the review discusses the significance of acoustic communication in the reproductive behavior of mosquitoes.

Key words: Culicidae, Aedes, Culex, mosquito, frequency tuning, acoustic stimulation, directional diagram, hearing mechanisms, mating behavior, acoustic detection of hosts
