At long-range, female mosquitoes mostly rely on CO2 to find blood host by flying up-wind following the odor plume (ref). They are also known to have excellent auditory organs (ref1, ref2) involved in mating (refref).

Could female mosquitoes detect the sound of their host (call, etc) to locate them, and then bypass their dependence to the wind direction to find the blood host?
