The study published in the November edition of Nature used data from about 5,000 children in 90 communities .
It looked at how many bites the children got and the proportion that developed malaria. The study reports that some people get more bites than others because, chemically, they are more attractive to mosquitoes. Other factors such as living near mosquito habitats, being pregnant and living in poor-quality housing also raise the risk of being bitten. The study suggests that such a targeted approach could be more effective than using broader malaria control measures.

I think it was on the news that it was mentioned that mosquitos are more attracted to people who have drunk soda and alcohol which makes you give off more carbon dioxide when exhaling and that attracts the mosquitos

Mosquitoes are an equal opportunity blood sucker. They bite all people and animals.
