Behavioural attraction of the malaria vector Anopheles coluzzii to human host odour
increases during adult maturation. We have previously demonstrated that the onset of host …

Studies of CNS processing of olfactory information have contributed significantly to
understanding olfactory‐guided behaviour in insects. Evidence in moths suggests that each …

Mosquitoes use a wide range of cues to find a host to feed on, eventually leading to the
transmission of pathogens. Among them, olfactory cues (eg, host-emitted odors, including …

Reception of odorants by two main head appendages, antennae and maxillary palps, is
essential for insects' survival and reproduction. There is growing evidence in the literature …

Female Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes respond to odours emitted from humans in order to
find a blood meal, while males are nectar feeders. This complex behaviour is controlled at …

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

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 …

Background: Aedes aegypti is a prominent and highly competent vector of several arboviral
diseases, including dengue, yellow fever, and Zika. Behaviors associated with reproductive …

The southern house mosquito, Culex quinquefasciatus, has one of the most acute and
eclectic olfactory systems of all mosquito species hitherto studied. Here, we used Illumina …

Adult female mosquitoes rely on olfactory cues like carbon dioxide and other small
molecules to find vertebrate hosts to acquire blood. The molecular physiology of the …
