The behavior of female malaria mosquitoes, Anopheles gambiae, especially seeking out
blood hosts or selecting oviposition sites, highly depends on the detection of relevant …

Odor-detection in the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae involves large families of
diverse proteins, including multiple odorant binding proteins (AgOBPs) and olfactory …

In the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae (Ag), olfaction plays a crucial role in various
behaviours, most strikingly in the seeking of females after a blood meal. The first step of …

Mosquitoes locate and approach humans based on the activity of odorant receptors (ORs)
expressed on olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs). Olfactogenetic experiments in Anopheles …

Olfaction is critical to the host preference selection behavior of many disease-transmitting
insects, including the mosquito Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto (hereafter A. gambiae) …

Abstract Background The malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae has a high preference for
human hosts, a characteristic that contributes greatly to its capacity for transmitting human …

At the heart of the odor recognition process in all animals are G-protein-coupled receptors,
which are seven-transmembrane domain proteins that initiate G-protein-mediated signaling …

Abstract Background Anopheles (An.) coluzzii, one of Africa's primary malaria vectors, is
highly anthropophilic. This human host preference contributes greatly to its ability to transmit …

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 …

Mosquitoes locate and approach humans ('host-seek') when specific Olfactory Neurons
(ORNs) in the olfactory periphery activate a specific combination of glomeruli in the mosquito …
