kairomone

/ˈkʌɪrəməʊn

noun Biology

A chemical substance emitted by an organism and detected by another of a different species which gains advantage from this, e.g. a parasite seeking a host.Unlike a pheromone, which involves only one species, kairomones are chemicals emitted by one species - in this case pears - that attract and benefit another, such as codling moths....

Thus, natural selection should favor parasitoids that utilize as kairomones only the chemicals that uniquely and reliably identify potential hosts.
According to Torr, ‘Tsetse use host kairomones to locate their hosts by a process termed ‘odour-mediated upwind anemotaxis’.

Origin

Late 20th century: from Greek kairos 'advantage, opportunity', on the pattern of pheromone.
