The mosquito Anopheles gambiae is the major vector of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa. It
locates its human hosts primarily through olfaction, but little is known about the molecular …

Female Anopheles mosquitoes, the world's most important vector of Plasmodium falciparum
malaria, locate their human hosts primarily through olfactory cues, but the molecular …

Female mosquitoes are major vectors of human disease and the most dangerous are those
that preferentially bite humans. A 'domestic'form of the mosquito Aedes aegypti has evolved …

Olfaction plays a major role in host preference and blood feeding, integral behaviors for
disease transmission by the malaria vector mosquito Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto …

We used bioinformatic approaches to identify a total of 276 G protein–coupled receptors
(GPCRs) from the Anopheles gambiae genome. These include GPCRs that are likely to play …

A globally invasive form of the mosquito Aedes aegypti specializes in biting humans, making
it an efficient disease vector. Host-seeking female mosquitoes strongly prefer human odour …

Anopheles gambiae is a highly anthropophilic mosquito responsible for the majority of
malaria transmission in Africa. The biting and host preference behavior of this disease vector …

Female mosquitoes of some species are generalists and will blood-feed on a variety of
vertebrate hosts, whereas others display marked host preference. Anopheles gambiae and …

The sustainability of malaria control in Africa is threatened by the rise of insecticide
resistance in Anopheles mosquitoes that transmit the disease 1. To gain a deeper …

A systematic functional analysis across much of the conventional Anopheles gambiae
odorant receptor (AgOR) repertoire was carried out in Xenopus oocytes using two-electrode …
