both synthetic and natural (which are
technically also semiochemicals) (see Lorenz et
al. , Chapter 4, this volume), but increased
understanding of the ecological role for natural
repellency (Pickett et al. , 2008, 2010) will be
essential. Molecular studies on vectors, and
particularly on vector olfaction, are also
providing new insights but not yet a clear
analysis from which to move forward (Ditzen et
al. , 2008; Syed and Leal, 2008). None the less,
the combined use of new molecular technologies
building on some of the fi rst full animal gene
sequences, including pathogen vectors discussed
here, plus production of semiochemicals via
plant biotechnology, including genetically
modifi ed organisms, and even genetic modifi -
cation of vectors themselves so as to interfere
with host and oviposition site location has the
potential to yield valuable new strategies for
exploitation of semiochemicals in the future.
