Abstract
The Aedes mosquito species are known for spreading illnesses caused by dengue and Chikungunya virus. Control efforts have been strengthened by the employment of novel integrated vector management techniques such as alginate hydrogel beads in combination with toxic sugar bait. However, limited sources are available on the relation of toxic sugar bait with the attract and kill mechanism. Therefore, this study identified the fundamental properties of sugar variants that affect the behaviour of mosquitoes towards the sugar sources
