title: Sex attractant pheromone of the house fly: isolation, identification and synthesis.
abstract: A sex pheromone isolated from the cuticle and feces of the female house fly attracts the male fly; it has been identified as (Z)-9-tricosene. Chemical and biological comparisons of the natural and synthesized compounds show that they are identical.
