Olfactory-driven behaviors are central to the lifecycle of the malaria vector mosquito
Anopheles gambiae and are initiated by peripheral signaling in the antenna and other …

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 …

Female Aedes aegypti are vectors of dengue and yellow fever. Odor volatiles are the
predominant cues that drive the host-seeking behavior of Ae. aegypti. Odorant molecules …

In this report we present results from a comprehensive study undertaken toward the
identification of proteins interacting with odourant‐binding proteins (OBPs) of the African …

Mosquitoes are highly dependent on the olfactory sense to find their hosts. How olfactory
information concerning host odors is represented and processed in the brain to elicit …

The attraction of anthropophilic mosquitoes to human host cues, such as body odour and
carbon dioxide, gradually increases during adult maturation. This acquisition of host-seeking …

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 …

The presence and expression of odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) in the olfactory organs
suggest that they play an important role in mosquito olfaction. However, no direct evidence …

In insects, olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) are located in cuticular sensilla, that are
present on the antennae and on the maxillary palps. Their axons project into spherical …

Female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes show strong innate attraction to humans. This
chemosensory behavior is critical to species survival because females require a blood-meal …
