The mosquito's antenna represents its main olfactory appendage for detecting volatile
chemical cues from the environment. Whole-mount fluorescence in situ hybridization of …

Half the world's human population is at risk for mosquito-borne diseases. Mosquitoes rely
mainly on their sense of smell to find a vertebrate blood host, nectar source, and a suitable …

Mosquito behavior is heavily dependent on olfactory and mechanosensory cues, which are
detected by receptor neurons on the antenna and on the palps. Recent progress in mosquito …

Ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) are a conserved family of ligand-gated ion channels
that primarily function to mediate neuronal communication at synapses. A variant subfamily …

Mosquitoes transmit many harmful diseases that seriously threaten public health. The
mosquito's olfactory system is of great significance for host selection. Inotropic receptors …

Anopheline mosquitoes rely on their highly sensitive chemosensory apparatus to detect
diverse chemical stimuli that drive the host-seeking and blood-feeding behaviors required to …

Among the cues that a mosquito uses to find a host for blood-feeding, the smell of the host
plays an important role. Previous studies have shown that host odors contain hundreds of …

Olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) in the antenna of insects serve to encode odors in action
potential activity conducted to the olfactory lobe of the deuterocerebrum. We performed an …

Anopheles mosquitoes are the sole vectors of malaria. Although adult females are directly
responsible for disease transmission and accordingly have been extensively studied, the …

The principal Afrotropical human malaria vector mosquito, Anopheles gambiae, remains a
significant threat to global health. A critical component in the transmission of malaria is the …
